Balintawak station is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system at the boundary of barangays Balingasa, Unang Sigaw, and Apolonio Samson in Quezon City. It opened on March 22, 2010 as part of the LRT-1 North Extension Project.[1] The station serves passengers going to and from the northern parts of Luzon using the North Luzon Expressway.
Balintawak is one of two LRT-1 stations serving Quezon City, the other being Fernando Poe Jr. It is the second station for trains headed to Baclaran and the nineteenth station for trains headed to Fernando Poe Jr. It served as the temporary northern terminus of the line before the completion of Fernando Poe Jr. station in October 2010 and during the temporary closure of that station since September 2020 until December 2022 due to the ongoing construction of the North Triangle Common Station.[2]
The station is situated in front of the Balintawak Market, near the Quezon City–Caloocan boundary, and near the Balintawak Cloverleaf.
