“As we gear up for the holiday season, LRMC is committed to providing reliable and efficient transportation to our passengers. With the recent opening of LRT-1 Cavite Extension Phase 1, we have expanded our network to serve more commuters. We have implemented measures to accommodate the expected increase in ridership during this Christmas season, including extending our operating hours and deploying additional resources. LRT-1 is here to make the holidays more convenient for everyone,” LRMC President and CEO Enrico R. Benipayo said.
LRMC advises passengers to plan their trips ahead of time and to use stored valued cards for a faster and more convenient commute. Ticket booths will close five minutes before the last train departs from the stations.
