The LRT-2 (Light Rail Transit Line 2), also known as the Megatren or the "Purple Line" in Metro Manila, Philippines, follows an east-west route that connects the cities of Antipolo, Marikina, Pasig, Quezon City, San Juan, and Manila. The line spans approximately 17.6 kilometers and currently consists of 13 stations. It begins at the Antipolo Station (the eastern terminus) and proceeds through Marikina-Pasig, Santolan, Katipunan (near major universities), Anonas, and Cubao (a major transfer point to the MRT-3). From there, it continues through Betty Go-Belmonte, J. Ruiz, Gilmore (the IT hub), V. Mapa, Pureza, and Legarda, finally ending at the Recto Station in the heart of Manila’s university belt. Recto is the western terminus and offers a walkway connection to the LRT-1 line at Doroteo Jose. The LRT-2 is notable for being the only "heavy rail" system in the capital’s light rail network, utilizing wider car bodies and higher passenger capacities to move commuters between the eastern suburbs and the Manila city center.
