LRT2 service suspended during Holy Week
IN the observance of the Holy Week, the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) is one with the Catholic Church in celebrating the most sacred week and will suspend the LRT 2 operations from Holy Thursday until Easter Sunday, April 6 to 9.
The LRT operation on Holy Wednesday, April 5, will also be shortened or up to 7 p.m. only for both routes bound for Recto and Antipolo.
Atty. Hernando Cabrera, LRTA Administrator, said that the four-day shutdown will give LRTA enough time to conduct thorough maintenance on LRT-2 trains, station facilities, and equipment to ensure the system’s reliability and safety.
“We normally take advantage of the Holy Week to perform our yearly maintenance activities. With this, we appeal for understanding from the riding public and request that they plan their trip and take alternative transportation during this period,” Cabrera shared.
After the Holy Week, the normal operations of the LRT-2 will resume on April 10, with trips starting at 5 a.m.
