Higher LRT-1 capacity

Light Rail Manila Corp., the private operator and maintenance provider of LRT-1, assures the safety of passengers as it increases capacity of trains in support of economic recovery. Following the Department of Transportation’s directive to gradually increase the maximum passenger capacity of trains, LRMC will adjust passenger loading capacity to 30 percent gradually up to 50 percent later on. Passenger control will be implemented using the PLPP (passenger limit per platform) strategy, where a defined number of passengers are allowed to board per station.
