Department of Transportation Art Tugade is mulling the dismantling the tracks of MRT2, also known as LRT2, and replacing the train service into a bus rapid transit system. He has been given pie in the sky promises by Francis Yuseco, the CEO of Philtrack which includes stakeholders such as Del Monte Motor Works, Inc. (a bus body manufacturer) that his "Intelligent Trackworks", known throughout the world as Bus Rapid Transit or BRT, will solve Metro Manila's traffic problem using buses that carry a maximum of 200 people. Francis Yuseco has convinced Secretary Tugade to look into testing out his concept on the existing LRT2 guideway, hence requiring the decommissioning and dismantling Metro Manila's youngest and most advanced railway system that serves people from Manila, San Juan, Quezon City and starting next year, Cainta and Masinag.

The massive surge of support proves that commuters are not going to let Secretary Tugade tear down our rail system for his corrupt pet project. Francis Yuseco and his cronies at Philtrack thought they could just dismantle our future in the dark but now they know we are watching every move they make.

Converting the existing MRT-2 into a BRT line is an absurd idea. What we need to do is to further improve the existing service, while adding more to the system (whether it be trains, BRT, or cable cars).
Curitiba, Brazil is the only city I know where BRT is a success. But they only have 1,880,000 people and its neighboring cities such as Londrina and Cascavel only have 400k-500k population. So with Manila, I can only imagine.
I used to live in Cainta LRT2 is working well. Please do not dismantle.
no to BRT!
Implement the bus rapid system without dismantling the LRT. Do you think that the increasing no. Of private vehicles will not get in the way of the bus rapid system? So please keep off the LRT system. Do us a favor. Thanks.
With all due respect, does Art Tugade makeup these stupid ideas when half cut on Red Horse. No sane person would even consider doing this to the LRT2.
If you people going to replace the lrt 2 thr transportation will be harder. Bus is such pain in the ass we all know that its not effective

I am a commuter in the Metropolitan and this is one of the ways I get around from place to place. An efficient mass transport is required for a metropolis to grow and sustain itself.
