マニラにあるLRT-2レガルダ駅にて、ライトレール・トランジット（LRT）利用者は車両を無料で駐車できるようになった。このサービスは先月サントラン駅で先行導入されたものと同様で、最近開始された。
バノイ・ロペス運輸長官は、この取り組みが交通渋滞の緩和、燃料需要の削減、移動時間の短縮を目的としていると述べた。駐車場は毎日午前4時から午後11時30分まで利用可能で、先着順となっており、夜間の駐車は認められていない。
利用者は駐車場の警備員から駐車券を受け取り、電車に乗車した後、降車駅の旅客支援オフィスでその駐車券に認証印をもらう必要がある。駐車場から出る際には、認証済みの駐車券の提示が求められる。
運輸省は、中東危機に関連する燃料価格の高騰を受けて、公共交通機関の利用を促進してきた。3月以降、政府はLRT-2およびMRT-3路線の運賃を50パーセント補助している。
