Commuting to LRT-1 Monumento Station

LRT-1 Monumento Station is the farthest station to the north out of the three Metro Rail Systems (MRT, LRT-1, and LRT-2). Because of this, many buses come and go in this area. There are even some bus terminals, the Victory Liner is one of them. Some other places to see here are the Manila Central University, Ever Gotesco Grand Central, and Uniwide Sales.
