This milestone has added eight new stations to the existing 20 stations, significantly enhancing the transportation network.

Looking ahead, the Department of Transportation has confirmed that work on Phases 2 and 3 of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension is progressing. These subsequent phases are expected to further expand the line and improve transit services in the region, with operations slated to begin by 2031.

===Road network===
[[File:Ph map laspinas.png|thumb|Map of Las Piñas]]The road network of Las Piñas is radial in nature, and primarily relies on the [[Alabang–Zapote Road]] (N411), which serves as the city's road network backbone. The [[Manila-Cavite Expressway]] (formerly Coastal Road, and numbered E3), a toll expressway serves as the major traffic route towards [[Manila]]. [[Daang Hari Road|Daang Hari]], which hugs near the boundary with [[Muntinlupa]], and the [[Aguinaldo Highway]] (N62) are the major traffic routes toward [[Cavite]]. The [[Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway]] (MCX), which leads to [[South Luzon Expressway]], supplements Daang Hari as an alternative to the congested Alabang-Zapote Road over [[Alabang]] and [[Ayala Alabang]] in Muntinlupa.

The road network in Las Piñas suffers from [[Traffic congestion|traffic jam]]s, especially on the primary artery, Alabang-Zapote Road, which carried more than 70,000 vehicles daily as of 2016. Public transport, like buses and jeepneys, fill up Alabang-Zapote Road, therefore causing further congestion. The city government petitioned the [[Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board]] (LTFRB) to suspend issuing of franchises on bus and jeepneys routes that uses Alabang-Zapote Road.

The Las Piñas Friendship Route network serves as the alternate routes on the congested routes, but motorists have to obtain and display a sticker on their vehicle to use these routes, as most roads of the network are located in privately owned subdivisions ([[Gated community|gated communities]]), like [[BF Homes]], Pilar Village, and BF Resort.

====Public transport====
Jeepneys and buses form the major public transport system, and most of their routes follow the Alabang-Zapote Road. Most jeepneys through Las Piñas travel between Alabang and Zapote, within the city, or [[Baclaran]], in Parañaque. Buses usually form routes between Alabang or [[SM Southmall]] and destinations in Manila. Buses and jeepneys are blamed for the worsening congestion on Alabang-Zapote Road.
