Yes, the LRT-2 (Purple Line) and the MRT-3 (Yellow Line) are connected in Manila, but it is not a "direct" transfer within the paid area. The connection point is at the Araneta Center-Cubao area. Passengers departing from the LRT-2 Cubao station must exit through the turnstiles and walk through a series of interconnected malls—specifically the Gateway Mall and Farmers Plaza—to reach the MRT-3 Cubao station. The walk takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on your pace and the mall crowds. While the transfer is convenient because it is entirely indoors and air-conditioned, you must purchase a separate ticket or use your "Beep Card" to enter the second system. As of 2026, there are ongoing government efforts to further privatize and integrate the operations of both lines to improve the transfer experience and reduce total travel time for the thousands of daily commuters who rely on this intersection.
Yes, the LRT-2 (Light Rail Transit Line 2) and MRT-3 (Metro Rail Transit Line 3) in Metro Manila are connected via a common station. The connection point is at Araneta Center-Cubao Station.

Additionally, plans for the Unified Grand Central Station in North Avenue, which will connect LRT-1, MRT-3, and the MRT-7 (once operational), are underway to further improve rail connectivity in Metro Manila.
