In an interview, Rivera said that President Estrada has not officially given
his nod but has approved it "in principle." "LRT fares will increase soon. The
President requested that it not be done during the Yuletide season, so most
likely, the increase will be implemented before January ends," he added.

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) sought a P5-increase to generate funds
for the rising cost of operating the elevated trains.
