LRTA sees 2026 rider volume at 60 million, collections at P1.1 billion
THE Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), the operator of Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) is projecting fare collections of P1.1 billion in 2026 on ridership of 60.62 million.
Administrator Hernando T. Cabrera disclosed the forecasts to BusinessWorld via Viber on Monday.
The LRTA said average daily ridership will be about 165,624 passengers. If the LRTA target for the year is realized, the total will exceed the pre-pandemic passenger count of 56.98 million in 2019.
The LRTA logged 53.21 million passengers in the first 11 months, up 9.51% from a year earlier.
Collections during that period amounted to P1.16 billion, down 0.85%.
LRTA’s target for 2025 is 57.15 million passengers and rail revenue of P1.38 billion.
It said that for 2025, LRTA estimates non-rail revenue to rise 4.5% to P138.05 million in 2025, which would beat the P132.09-million target.
Last year, the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said it is planning to launch the bidding process for the LRT-2 operations and maintenance contract within the first six months of 2026.
The DoTr is working with International Finance Corp. to privatize LRT-2, with a public-private partnership expected to increase ridership and extend the rail line. — Ashley Erika O. Jose

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
