Ortigas station is the sixth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the eighth station for trains headed to North Avenue.[3] The station is notorious for having a narrow sidewalk on its east exit, which forces commuters to squeeze through the sidewalk and its fencing along EDSA due to legal right-of-way issues with the Asian Development Bank and its headquarters next to the station itself.[4][5]
