I based the map on the description and illustration of the 1973 Urban Transport Study in Metropolitan Manila by the Overseas Technical Cooperation Agency, JICA's predecessor.
*I found that the source's description and illustration (p.233;252) differs from the illustration of the popular UTSMMA map of a UPD paper (e.g. OTCA describes Line 1 end at Talon, Las Piñas which the UPD illustration shows it ends in Zapote).
*I took some liberty in charting routes towards stated termini.
*Some stations were based on the Line 1 study; most were either based on IRL equivalent or made up by me.
*I highly recommend reading UTSMMA to know more on the plans for the lines.
* Added segments of the PNR North & South Main lines and made them elevated (I imagine some sections to be just embankments the further you go out to the suburbs)
