Continuing our journey from that traffic-ridden area of Marcos Highway (see blog post, June 11), I was on my way to LRT-3, fondly called the purple train. It's quite a walk from the jeepney stop all the way to the platform itself. You have to climb and cross the pedestrian overpass, go down and enter the main lobby of the terminal, line up to purchase your ticket, climb or hopefully catch a ride at a moving escalator, then finally, this scene welcomes you.
Underneath beautiful, cumulus clouds is the busy, busy highway that is Marcos Highway. While we see a row of green trees separating the two lanes of the highway, we see the signs of progress: the busy traffic, the factories and other establishments nearby, and if you notice a little further off, you'd see SM City Marikina. Well, the train tracks seem to be an eyesore in all this. Let's take a 180-degree turn and see what's on the other side.
This is the skyline of Eastwood City, Libis, Quezon City. We're seeing this from the platform at Santolan station. Look at all that cluster of buildings, which somehow forms the background of the lower buildings you see here. If you notice the purple building on the left side of the picture, that is part of the garage where the trains cool off, recharge and are maintained. The other buildings are mostly factories. But it's nice to see that there are green trees surrounding the area.
Well, my train's here! Where will my next stop be? Well, find out in my next blog! This is Antipolo commuter...boarding the train!
