Hello! Regarding the average number of commuter who ride MRT/LRT, I would like to know the number from January to October 2019. I am a student from the University of the Philippines Los Baños and we’re asked to write try this portal and use it as a valid source for information. And since the crisis on mass transportation is an evident issue in the present, I would like to add up my knowledge regarding it. I am hoping you could process my request, thank you.
