MIA Road station

MIA Road station, also known as MIA station, is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system in Parañaque. It is part of the Line 1 Cavite Extension Project, which opened to the public on November 16, 2024. Situated at the intersection of Roxas Boulevard and Seaside Drive, which is the physical continuation of the adjacent NAIA Road, it serves Barangay Tambo and Entertainment City.

Name
Previously known as MIA station, the station was officially renamed MIA Road station shortly before its inauguration. The name was derived after the nearby road formerly called MIA Road, now NAIA Road, after its namesake airport was renamed in 1987. Despite its name, the station is located at the intersection between Seaside Drive (NAIA Road's physical continuation to Bay City) and Roxas Boulevard, and not within the airport complex. Furthermore, Ninoy Aquino Avenue station is located closer to the airport. ==History==
