The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) has extended the LRT2 railway’s operating hours.
Commuters are now expected to have more time to catch the last ride of the LRT2.
In an advisory on Friday, the LRTA said that starting June 17, 2022, the operations of LRT2 will be extended “to serve more passengers.”
“From the original schedule of 8:30 p.m., the last commercial train departing from Antipolo station will be adjusted to 9:00 p.m.,” it said.
The LRTA further said the last commercial train departing from Recto station will be at 9:30 p.m. from the original 9:00 p.m.
“The move is in line with the goal of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), under the leadership of Secretary Art Tugade, and the Light Rail Transit Authority to aid the commuting needs of the riding public by serving for longer hours as more employees are returning to onsite work and students attending face-to-face classes,” the LRTA, quoted by a GMA News report said.
The 17-kilometer LRT2 has 13 stations, stretching from Recto Avenue in Manila to Masinag in Antipolo, Rizal.
