THE Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), the operator of Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) is projecting fare collections of P1.1 billion in 2026 on ridership of 60.62 million.

Administrator Hernando T. Cabrera disclosed the forecasts to BusinessWorld via Viber on Monday.

The LRTA said average daily ridership will be about 165,624 passengers. If the LRTA target for the year is realized, the total will exceed the pre-pandemic passenger count of 56.98 million in 2019.

The LRTA logged 53.21 million passengers in the first 11 months, up 9.51% from a year earlier.

Collections during that period amounted to P1.16 billion, down 0.85%.

LRTA’s target for 2025 is 57.15 million passengers and rail revenue of P1.38 billion.

It said that for 2025, LRTA estimates non-rail revenue to rise 4.5% to P138.05 million in 2025, which would beat the P132.09-million target.

Last year, the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said it is planning to launch the bidding process for the LRT-2 operations and maintenance contract within the first six months of 2026.

The DoTr is working with International Finance Corp. to privatize LRT-2, with a public-private partnership expected to increase ridership and extend the rail line. — Ashley Erika O. Jose

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
