Train operating hours at the LRT 1 line will be modified to accommodate system upgrading works for the safety and reliability of service, the Light Rail Manila Corporation said on Sunday.
Effective July 29, the last LRT 1 train from Baclaran northbound will leave at 9:30 p.m. and from Roosevelt southbound at 9:45 p.m. daily.
The last trip of LRT1 was originally scheduled at 10 p.m. during weekdays.
The schedule of the first trip remains at 4:30 a.m. for either directions.
“The system upgrade and rehabilitation work will include the replacement of the auxiliary power supply and train control and monitoring system among many others,” said LRMC operations director Roberto San Jose.
“To be able to provide them a safe, reliable, efficient, and comfortable journey, we need to update and upgrade our signalling system,” he said.
The maintenance and rehabilitation work is set to be completed by October 2020.
