LRT-1 private operator Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) has officially announced the temporary suspension of LRT-1 operations from April 2 (Maundy Thursday) to April 5 (Easter Sunday), 2026.
The four-day closure is designated for the company’s Holy Week maintenance activities, which will involve a series of rigorous checks and essential system upgrades across the entire line.
Before the temporary suspension, LRT-1 will implement its normal weekday operating hours from March 30 (Holy Monday) to April 1 (Holy Wednesday). During this period, the first trips will depart simultaneously from Dr. Santos Station and Fernando Poe Jr. Station at 4:30 AM. The last train is scheduled to leave Dr. Santos Station at 10:30 PM, while the last trip from Fernando Poe Jr. Station will depart at 10:45 PM.
“Our team will be utilizing this period to perform necessary maintenance checks and critical upgrades. These rigorous activities are part of our commitment to providing a safe and seamless commute for our LRT-1 passengers,” LRMC President and CEO Enrico R. Benipayo said. He further emphasized that all trains and core systems would undergo intensive testing and inspection before the resumption of normal operations to ensure the integrity of the entire LRT-1 network.
LRT-1 will resume its regular operations on April 6, 2026. LRMC advises the riding public to plan their trips ahead of time and wishes the community a safe and meaningful Holy Week.
