The Light Rail Transit Line 1 announced Tuesday it will extend its weekday operating hours starting March 26 to improve commuter convenience.
The decision to extend operating hours came after Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon inspected MRT-3 last week and urged railway management to accommodate more passengers. LRT-1 spans 26 kilometers and serves 25 stations from Baclaran to Fernando Poe Jr. station. The agency stated that it did not deploy any assets or rescue vehicles assigned to assist passengers on Monday, as the strike failed to paralyze the transport system in the National Capital Region.
MMDA chairman Don Artes said a single dispatch system for rescue assets was put in place at the MMDA Command Center, with buses and vehicles marked “Libreng Sakay” on standby for deployment if needed between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
