MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) will remain open during the upcoming holidays but will close early on the night before Christmas and on New Year\u2019s Eves.<\/p>\n

In an advisory on Tuesday, the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), the private operator of the LRT-1, said it will implement shortened service hours on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31, both declared as special non-working holidays by the government under Proclamation No. 845.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Christmas Eve (December 24), the LRT-1\u2019s operating schedule will be from 4:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. both bounds, and 4:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. both bounds for New Year’s Eve (December 31),\u201d the LRMC said.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Day, New Year\u2019s Day, and on weekends, it said the LRT-1 will continue to serve passengers based on its regular weekend or holiday schedule — the first train from Balintawak leaves at 4:30 a.m. and the last train leaves at 9:45 p.m. while the first train from Baclaran leaves at 4:30 a.m. and the last train leaves at 9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

On regular weekdays, the first LRT-1 train from Baclaran leaves at 4:30 a.m. and the last train leaves at 10 p.m. while the first train from Balintawak leaves at 4:30 a.m. and the last train leaves at 10:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

Roosevelt Station, it said, will remain temporarily closed \u201cuntil further notice\u201d to accommodate the ongoing construction of the government\u2019s Common Station or the Unified Grand Central Station that will connect the LRT-1, MRT-3, and MRT-7.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last stop of LRT-1 will remain to be Balintawak station, northbound. Rest assured that LRMC is working closely with the government to accelerate the reopening of Roosevelt Station,\u201d the LRMC said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
