Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) said it will temporarily suspend LRT-1 operations from April 2 to April 5, 2026 to conduct annual maintenance activities and system upgrades during the Holy Week break.
The four-day closure is designated for rigorous checks and essential upgrades across the entire rail line. LRMC president and chief executive Enrico Benipayo said all trains and core systems will undergo intensive testing and inspection before operations resume to ensure the integrity of the network.
“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,” Benipayo said.
Before the suspension, the rail line will maintain normal weekday hours from March 30 to April 1. During this window, the first trips will depart simultaneously from Dr. Santos Station and Fernando Poe Jr. Station at 4:30 a.m. The final train from Dr. Santos Station is scheduled for 10:30 p.m., while the last trip from Fernando Poe Jr. Station will leave at 10:45 p.m.
Regular operations are scheduled to resume on April 6, 2026. The company advised the riding public to plan trips in advance to avoid inconvenience during the holiday period.
