Baclaran station is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system in Pasay. Situated on the last stretches of Taft Avenue right at the border with Baclaran, Parañaque. The station is named after the famous shopping district of the same name, which is located on the borders of the cities of Pasay and Parañaque. Opened in 1984, the station served as the line's initial southern terminus, historically known as South Terminal, until Phase 1 of the Cavite Extension was opened in 2024.[1][2]
The station is the sixth station for trains headed to Fernando Poe Jr. and the twentieth station for trains headed to Dr. Santos. Baclaran is one of the four LRT-1 stations serving Pasay; the others are Gil Puyat, Libertad, and EDSA. The line's depot is located near the station.
The terminal is near one of the country's most famous landmarks, the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, widely known as the Baclaran Church. It is also near numerous dry goods and flea markets (tiangges), selling everything from clothes and electronics to home decorations and traditional medicine. It is also interconnected to adjacent shopping malls such as MyMall and Baclaran LRT Shopping Mall.
