The Blumentritt station is a station on the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1. Like all other Line 1 stations, Blumentritt station is above-ground. The station serves the districts of Tondo, Santa Cruz, and Sampaloc in Manila. The station itself is located near Blumentritt Road, which the station was named after. The street itself is named to honor Bohemian professor Ferdinand Blumentritt, one of José Rizal's closest associates and a sympathizer of the Propaganda Movement.
