Similar to the MRT, time consumed between stations is roughly 2 minutes, which already includes loading and unloading time. So, once you get in a train, you can fairly accurately predict your travel time.
Stored value cards are LRT tickets loaded with 100 pesos worth of fare. No need to queue up for a ticket every time you want to take a ride. The most sulit part about it is the "last ride bonus", wherein the system will still accept your card even if it falls below the minimum fare.
It also serves as an excellent "deconfuser". Whenever you're in Metro Manila and you get confused by the street signs (or their absence), just ask anyone how you can get to the nearest LRT station. That ought to reorient your sense of direction.

I take the LRT to Gil Puyat because it's a heck of a lot faster than a jeepney ride.
I've learned how to balance myself in a moving train without holding on to the handles. - Professional LRT Rider
