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). The station is named after the center, as well as the nearby Ortigas Avenue.
Ortigas station is the sixth station for trains headed to Taft Avenue and the eighth station for trains headed to North Avenue. It is one of three stations to be situated in Mandaluyong and the northernmost one, near the boundary with Quezon City. 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.
