Figure 1. Location map of LRT Line-6 A and Line-6 B+C (Modified LRT Line 6 FS, August 2018)
3 Project Rationale
The current traffic volume in Metro Manila and adjoining provinces already exceeds the
capacities of existing roads. Public transport accounts for about 69% of the daily traffic
demand while the remaining 31% is provided by private vehicles.
The proposed LRT Line-6A and Line-6 B+C project aims to provide a new public transportation
infrastructure from Metro Manila to Cavite Province to serve the developing areas of
Parañaque, Pasay, Las Piñas and Muntinlupa in Metro Manila and the cities of Bacoor and
Dasmariñas in Cavite Province. Residents from these areas commute to Metro Manila
regularly for work and other business.
The proposed LRT Line-6A and Line-6 B+C aims to extend the LRT Line-1 Extension alignment
from the Niog Station in Bacoor City down to Governor’s Drive in Dasmarinas City along
Molino/Paliparan Roads and adjacent areas.
The main project objectives are to provide a convenient and affordable mass transit system
for Cavite Province and adjacent cities and create business and employment opportunities
for communities and business establishments located within these areas.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING LRT Line 6-A and Line-6B+C Project
4 Project Details
4.1 Route Alignment and Stations
The project that is the subject of this ECC application aims to consolidate the LRT Line-6 A
(Niog to Governor’s Station with route length of 23.5 km) and LRT Line-6 B+C (NAIA T1/2 to
Bacoor with route length of 15.4 km and Sucat-Alabang Zapote with total length of 12.4 km).
It will consist of the following LRT lines:
1. LRT-6A from Niog Station to Governor’s Drive station (23.5 km)
2. LRT Line-6B with a single-track commuter railway from NAIA Station to Sucat Station
and a double-track elevated railway from Sucat Station to San Nicolas station with the
alignment mostly following the road alignments within Las Piñas City; route length is
15.4 km
3. LRT Line-6C consisting of elevated railway tracks from Sucat Station to Lake Front
Station following the alignment of Dr. A. Santos Avenue with total route length of 7.7
km
4. Alabang-Zapote Line from Marcos Alvarez Station to Star Mall Station following the
alignment of the Alabang-Zapote Road with total route length of 5 km
There will be three common stations between the LRT-6 B+C segments, namely Sucat,
Canaynay and Marcos Alvarez Stations.
LRT Line-6 A will commence from Niog Station in Bacoor City and will end at Governors Station
in Dasmariñas City with a total length of 23.5 km. The alignment from Niog Station to San
Nicolas Station will mostly pass through Molino Boulevard and privately-controlled
properties, after which the alignment will traverse Molino Road and will head southward until
it reaches Daang Hari Station that will be located on private property. The LRT Line-6A will be
an elevated structure from Niog Station to Daang Hari Station. From Daang Hari Station, the
LRT Line-6A alignment will be on embankment, passing through privately-controlled
properties until San Pedro Station. From San Pedro Station, the alignment will head southwest
and emerge at Paliparan Road as an elevated structure and follow the road alignment until
its intersection with Governor’s Drive. The Governor’s Drive Station will be the endpoint of
the LRT Line-6 A for this ECC application but there will be future plans to extend the LRT Line-
6 alignment to Tagaytay City.
The LRT Line-6B will commence from NAIA-T1/T2 in Pasay City and will follow the alignment
of Dr. A. Santos Avenue until Sucat Station in Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque City. This
segment will consist of an elevated single-track commuter railway. From Sucat Station, the
LRT Line-6B will head southeast along Dr. A. Santos Avenue. From Canaynay Station, the
alignment will head south passing through the alignment of A. Canaynay Avenue, then turn
southeast along CAA Road then Alabang-Zapote Road. The alignment will head southwest
along Marcos Alvarez Avenue and will pass through private properties until it intersects the
LRT Line-6A in the vicinity of Barangay Molino 6, Bacoor City.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING LRT Line 6-A and Line-6B+C Project
The LRT Line-6C will commence from Sucat Station and will follow the alignment of Dr. A.
Santos Avenue, heading eastward towards Lake Front Station along the East Service Road of
the South Luzon Expressway. This segment will have an elevated structure with six stations
on strategic areas along Dr. A. Santos Avenue.
The Alabang-Zapote Line will commence from Marcos Alvarez Station and will follow the
alignment of Alabang-Zapote Road, heading south-eastward towards Star Mall Station
located along the Manila South Road east of the Alabang Viaduct of the South Luzon
Expressway.
The proposed stations and the barangay location of the stations is tabulated in Table 2. Figure
2 shows the barangay location map of the project alignment. It may be gleaned from Table 3
that there will be three common stations in the LRT Line-6 B+C, namely Sucat, Canaynay and
Marcos Alvarez Stations.
Table 2. Alignment Design Specifications (Modified LRT Line 6 FS, August 2018)
4.2 Route Alignment Design Specifications

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING LRT Line 6-A and Line-6B+C Project
4.2.1 LRT Line-6B (Airport-Sucat-Bacoor Line)
Connection with the LRT Line 1 Extension is a key and important issue for the Cavite Line to
provide convenient passenger service, increase patronage and ridership. Two alternative
plans will be studied: (1) construction of Sucat Station close to SM and/or Dr. Santos Station
of LRT Line 1 Extension for passenger transfer; and (2) extend Cavite Line to NAIA and
construct a station to provide transfer service at NAIA Station of LRT Line 1 Extension.
There are some sections of the proposed LRT Line-6 B+C Cavite Line where the carriageway is
anticipated to encroach on private properties due to narrow road width. Road width of major
roads along the alignment of the Cavite Line is provided in Table 4.
Table 4. Road width of major roads (Modified LRT Line 6 FS, August 2018)
Road Name Typical Road Width (m)
Dr. A. Santos Avenue 32-33
Angelina Canaynay Avenue 14-18
Alabang Zapote Road 17-20
Marcos Alvarez Avenue 14
Marcos Alvarez Avenue Extension 11-13
4.2.2 LRT Line-6C (Sucat Line)
The Sucat line will run a straight line above the Dr. A. Santos Avenue that has an approximate
width of 33 m. There is no serious land acquisition issue along this route. However, there are
existing flyover structures of Skyway in the Sucat intersection, thus the Sucat Line will be built
as an underpass structure beneath the Skyway.
4.2.3 Canaynay Station Crossover Track
Canaynay Station will be a transit station between the Cavite Line and Sucat Line with two
platforms and four tracks. The eastbound track of the Sucat Line will crossover the Cavite Line
(at third level) between Canaynay Station and El Grande Station.
4.3 Engineering Design
The project design specifications will be in accordance with international and Philippine
standards and all applicable portions of the following codes and standards: AAASHTO, ACI
318, ASTM, DPWH.
Elevated structures will comply with the latest minimum vertical clearance requirement of
the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Obstacles limitation surfaces (OLS)
of NAIA as defined by international specifications will also be considered in planning the
elevated structure linking Sucat Station with NAIA Station.
The standard superstructure will be composed of four I-girders with a span length of 30
meters consisting of reinforced concrete slab. The carriageway width will be 9 m. The
substructure and foundation will consist of single column piers with bored pile or rigid frame
10
PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING LRT Line 6-A and Line-6B+C Project
type pier with bored piles. The pier will be a 28 MPa reinforced concrete structure with 18m
long (variable) and 2,500mm diameter bored pile.
The superstructures will be elevated by about 6.5 to 7.2 m from the existing roads.
The minimum radius of curvature will be 100 m and 50 m in some areas to limit land
acquisition. The average train speed will be 30-35 kph while maximum design speed will be
70 kph.
An embankment type will be used in the section between Daang Hari and San Pedro Stations
to reduce construction costs (Modified LRT Line 6 FS, August 2018).
Standard station types will consist of: (1) side platform with two platforms and two tracks; (2)
side platform with two platforms and four tracks; and (3) island platform with one platform
and two tracks. Side platforms (20m x110 m) will be used for all stations except at Apollo and
Queen’s Row Stations where island platform types will be used (13m x 110m). Stations will
be equipped with elevators/escalators, utilities, circulation, lighting, security measures and
auxiliary spaces for ticket sales, passenger information, station administration and
commercial use.
A ballast-less track type will be applied between Sucat Station and Daang Hari Station and
Sucat Line to reduce track maintenance costs. A ballasted track type will be used for other
sections to reduce the initial investment cost.
The major features for track design are provided in Table 5.
Table 5. Track Design Requirements (Modified LRT Line 6 FS, August 2018).
4.4 Depot and Facilities
A depot will be constructed and will consist of the following facilities:
• Parking for trains not currently used for operations
• Maintenance area for car body modifications and replacement of bogies, traction
equipment and other major components
• LRT maintenance building consisting of specialized workshops, components storage
area, maintenance managing offices, worker’s changing area, etc.
• Operation control center and administration building
• Fixed infrastructures maintenance facilities
11
PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR SCOPING LRT Line 6-A and Line-6B+C Project
About 3 hectares of land will be required for the depot and other facilities. The proposed
depot location will be in the vicinity of San Pedro Station within privately-controlled
properties.
