The Manila Light Rail Transit Purple Line is the second line of the Manila Light Rail Transit System. The line contains eleven stations and runs over 13.8 kilometers of mostly elevated track, with the exception of Katipunan station, which is underground. As the name implies, the line is colored purple on all LRT maps.
The line runs in a general east-west direction, linking the cities of Manila, Quezon City, Marikina and Pasig, as well as the municipality of San Juan. Passengers can transfer to the Yellow Line at Recto station, while passengers can transfer to the Blue Line at Araneta Center-Cubao station.
Before the launch of the Strong Republic Transit System, the Yellow Line was known as MRT Line 2, shortened to MRT-2, or the Megatren. The former names are still used colloquially. However, the purple color of the line dates back to its opening in 2003.
