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

Michigan progresses Bitcoin Reserve bill to invest 10% state funds in Bitcoin

The post Michigan progresses Bitcoin Reserve bill to invest 10% state funds in Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Michigan’s legislature is considering a bill to allow up to 10% of its public funds to be invested in Bitcoin. This move would make Michigan one of the most ambitious U.S. states regarding state-level Bitcoin adoption. Michigan advanced legislation today that would authorize the state to invest up to 10% of its public funds in Bitcoin, joining a growing wave of states exploring crypto asset reserves. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill represents one of the most ambitious state-level Bitcoin adoption proposals to date. Over 20 U.S. states introduced or considered similar Bitcoin reserve legislation in 2024 and early 2025, reflecting increased institutional interest as Bitcoin prices reached new highs. Michigan’s pension fund already maintains small Bitcoin exposure through exchange-traded funds. The proposal aligns with broader federal cryptocurrency policy shifts under the Trump administration, which has expressed support for a national Bitcoin reserve. Such federal backing has encouraged state-level initiatives as governments seek portfolio diversification beyond traditional assets. Bitcoin proponents argue that state reserves could provide hedge protection against inflation and currency devaluation, similar to how sovereign wealth funds like Norway’s oil fund diversified into alternative investments. Critics cite Bitcoin’s price volatility as a risk for public funds. The legislation still requires additional legislative approval before Michigan could begin Bitcoin purchases for its state treasury operations.
