Advantage And Disadvantage Of LRT-1

The Light Rail Transit System Line 1, generally and popularly known as the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1), is a metropolitan rail system serving the Metro Manila area in the Philippines. LRT-1, also called the Green Line (formerly Yellow Line), opened in 1984 and travels a north–south route. The system is under the authority of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Also, it is controlled and operated by a government-owned corporation, Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), Fast and inexpensive to ride, the system serves “a daily passenger count of 400,000” with 88 operational coaches, according to a CNN Philippines article written by De Guzman (2016). And its 18.073 km (11.23 mi) of mostly elevated route form two lines which serve 20

Available to the masses as an easy way to get around, public transportation is something that is essential to society. However, public transportation also has other benefits. According to Shapiro, Hassett & Arnold (2002), the increase of use of public transportation not only takes cars off the road and decreases congestion, but also decreases the dependency of the country for oil and other unsustainable energy sources. As such, it is important that we try to increase the usage of public transportation as the main transportation of everyone even those that could afford private

Comfort, as mentioned earlier, is important to satisfaction. One of comfort’s key factors is the environmental temperature because people usually prefer cooler temperatures whether in hot or wet seasons. According to Andamon, Williamson & Soebarto (2006), about 80% of workers find that temperatures ranging from 21.5 to 24.5 celsius are generally acceptable. A problem involving energy consumption may rise because if the consumption of energy rises and the comfort of passengers in terms of temperature might fall if air-conditioning system is not sustained accordingly thus making satisfaction of passengers decrease. The amount of passengers can also affect the temperature by saying that if the amount of passengers increases, the temperature also increases altogether can, again, make the passengers ' comfort, in terms of temperature decrease. (Marzouk & Abdelaty, 2014).

To combat the influx and delay of people, a reasonable plan is to study the real-time metro train rescheduling problem that has an uncertain environment with disturbances to improve management service level and energy efficiency and develop a stochastic programming model for train rescheduling that will optimize the time delay of passenger, their traveling time, and the train 's energy consumption.
