Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC), the operator of Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 on Tuesday said it will implement shortened service hours on December 24  and December 31, which were both declared as special non-working days by the Philippine Government under Proclamation No. 845.

On Christmas Eve (December 24), the LRT-1’s operating schedule will be from 4:30 AM to 8:00 PM both bounds, and 4:30 AM to 7:00 PM both bounds for New Year’s Eve (December 31). 

LRT-1 will continue to serve passengers on December 25, 2020 (Christmas Day),  December 30, 2020 (Rizal Day), and January 1, 2021 (New Year’s Day) following the regular weekends/holiday schedule.

The 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.

“The public is also advised to be guided accordingly on passenger advisories, any change in schedule, and to plan trips ahead during this period,” LRMC said.
