Also, in compliance with the DOTr cap on passengers,\u201d Gorospe said.<\/p>\n<p>For June, the average daily ridership of the LRT-1 is 66,550, which is a decrease of 87.69 percent from 500,000.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the MRT-3 in a message said that its average daily passengers for 2019 were 280,000 to 300,000.<\/p>\n<p>With a current daily average ridership of 39,187, the MRT-3 had a decrease in ridership of about 77.81 to 86 percent.<\/p>\n<p>To mitigate the large reduction in passenger capacity of the rail services, the DOTr has also launched bus augmentation services that would ply the same routes as three Metro Manila rail lines since the beginning of June.<\/p>\n<p>These bus augmentation services include the partial activation of the EDSA Carousel route for the MRT-3, the Cubao-Antipolo city bus route for the LRT-2, and the Monumento-EDSA Taft route for the LRT-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; TULOY-TULOY PA RIN ANG PAG-ARANGKADA NG DOTr FREE RIDE FOR HEALTH WORKERS PROGRAM!Patuloy ang pag arangkada ng&#8230; Posted by &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":256314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-259326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-raymond-carl-dela-cruz","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259326"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":259327,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259326\/revisions\/259327"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
