THE Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) resumed full operations before noon today following the repair of a technical problem that had disrupted service earlier in the morning.
The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), operator of the LRT-2, announced the resumption of full line service via social media, confirming that trains were running between Recto Station and Antipolo Station in both directions.
The disruption, caused by a technical issue affecting transformer numbers 5 and 6 in the Santolan and Anonas areas, had initially limited train service to the Cubao-Recto route.
The LRTA, along with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Philippine Coast Guard, provided free shuttle and bus services to assist affected passengers during the period of degraded operations.
The swift resolution of the technical problem and the resumption of full service, including the continuation of free rides until June 26th, were met with relief by commuters.
The LRTA expressed gratitude to passengers for their patience and understanding during the service interruption. The incident highlights the importance of timely maintenance and the challenges of ensuring reliable public transportation service.
