LRMC implements adjusted LRT-1 operating hours

In support of the government’s announcement of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila, the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) will implement a new schedule for the last train service on March 29 and 30, 2021.

LRT-1 will be operating from 4:30AM until 9:30PM (Northbound) and until 9:45PM (Southbound) on March 29 - 30. The adjusted schedule for the last train is in consideration of the government’s curfew from 6PM – 5AM and will allow LRT-1 Operations personnel to prepare and travel home safely.

As previously announced in the Holy Week schedule advisory, LRT-1 operations will be temporarily suspended from March 31 (Holy Wednesday) to April 4, 2021 (Easter Sunday) for the annual maintenance and rehabilitation works to facilitate continuous improvements to the LRT-1 system. LRMC has also coordinated with the Department of Transportation for the deployment of public utility buses along the alignment of LRT-1 to support essential workers with additional means of transportation during this period.

LRT-1 will resume its operations on 5 April 2021 (Monday) following a new schedule: Northbound train (4:30AM to 9:15PM), Southbound train (4:30AM to 9:30PM). The shortened operating hours will allow LRMC to perform safety and integration tests for the upgrading works of the LRT-1 signaling system, as well as prepare for the commercial run of the 4th Generation trains in the last quarter of the year.

Rest assured that LRMC will continue to enforce its health and safety protocols and comply with IATF guidelines while operating and performing the maintenance works during this period.

The public is advised to be guided accordingly on passenger advisories or any change in schedule, as well as to plan essential trips ahead during this period. Follow @officialLRT1 on Facebook and Twitter and download the ikotMNL mobile app on App Store or Google Play for more updates.
