METRO MANILA --- The difference between the LRT & MRT

WE WILL BEGIN OUR TRAVEL IN METRO MANILA, the Capital of he Philippines.

In this place where you will find tall buildings/ skycrapers, medium size and  huge malls everywhere, community stores (sari-sari stores as what we call them), various public transport (tricycles, jeepneys, buses, cabs), and new and newest car models  --- all of these rule the highway! I almost forgot, the Light Rail Transits (LRT) and Metro Rail Transit (MRT).  I think of the LRT as a train for Middle Class to Lower Class citizens, and MRT for the Lower Class because of the narrow space it has inside, you would always squeeze yourself in and out of the train among those people refusing to leave by the train door because of the difficulty of getting out when they reach their station. While LRTs are quite spacious and quite comfortable, I would wait until the train stops and the doors open before I began to walk out.
