Ortigas station is an elevated Metro Rail Transit (MRT) station located on the MRT Line 3 (MRT-3) system in the Mandaluyong portion of Ortigas Center (under barangay Wack-Wack Greenhills).[1] The station is named after either Ortigas Center or Ortigas Avenue, which is nearby.[2]

Ortigas station is the sixth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the eighth station for trains headed to North Avenue, it is the last station in Mandaluyong, before crossing over to Quezon City.[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]
