Katipunan station is an underground Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 2 (LRT-2) system in Loyola Heights, Quezon City. It is the only underground station in the entire line. The station is named because of its location on Katipunan Avenue, one of Quezon City's main thoroughfares. The avenue is in turn named after the Katipunan revolutionary society.

Katipunan station serves as the tenth station for trains headed to Antipolo and the fourth station for trains headed to Recto.

This station should not be confused with the planned Katipunan station of the Metro Manila Subway Line 9, to be built on Camp Aguinaldo property near the other end of Katipunan Avenue, also in Quezon City.

The station was temporarily closed due to a fire which affected two rectifiers located between the Katipunan and Anonas stations on October 3, 2019.[1] The station was reopened on January 22, 2021 after repairs to the rectifiers were completed.[2]

Nearby landmarks

The station's south entrance is located beside the Philippine School of Business Administration, while the north entrance is adjacent to St. Bridget School.

Because of its location near Katipunan Avenue, the station is also proximate to the Ateneo de Manila University.

Commuters also get off at Katipunan station to ride a jeepney or tricycle to the University of the Philippines Diliman and Miriam College, both of which lie on Katipunan Avenue.

Transportation links

Buses, taxis, jeepneys and tricycles are used to navigate the Katipunan area. Commuters headed to the area's universities, such as Ateneo de Manila, Miriam College, and University of the Philippines Diliman, have to transfer to reach the campuses, since they lie some distance from the station.

A bus stop of the Quezon City Bus Service Route 3 can be found right outside the station's north entrance.
