Zapote

Zapote station was first planned as part of the Line 1 South Extension plan, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers. The extension will have 8 passenger stations, with an option for 2 future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba). The project was first approved on August 25, 2000, and the implementing agreement was approved on January 22, 2002. However, construction of the extension was repeatedly delayed, and the project was eventually shelved.

Plans for the southern extension were revived as early as 2012 during the Benigno Aquino III administration and were expected to begin construction in 2014, but were delayed due to right of way issues. These issues were resolved in 2016, and the project broke ground on May 4, 2017. Construction work on the south extension began on May 7, 2019 after the right-of-way acquisitions were cleared.

On November 15, 2024, Phase 1 of the LRT Line 1 Extension, which runs between Redemptorist and Dr. Santos, was inaugurated; LRMC management announced that commercial operations would begin on the following day. Phases 2 and 3 are expected to begin operations by 2031, as challenges particularly delays in acquisition of right-of-way have hindered their completion.
