LRT-1 unveils Christmas train

By Gabriela Baron

The Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) unveiled the LRT-1 Christmas-themed Train in time for the Christmas holiday season.

Coming from a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LRT-1 Christmas Trais is back with a theme of “Music of Christmas” which features Christmas classical music and contemporary retro pop.

“We are happy to bring back this Christmas tradition of wrapping select trains at LRT-1 as one of our special treats to our passengers,” LRMC President and CEO Juan Alfonso said.

“The LRT-1 Christmas Train is part of our continued efforts to delight our passengers and give them an enjoyable experience, while we also work harder to improve train services for safe, reliable, and comfortable journey,” Alfonso added.

Alfonso said passengers will also have a chance to receive special gifts from LRMC when they participate in engagement activities seen near the articulation area of the trains.

“This is our sixth year of fully dressing up our LRT-1 trains. We chose Music of Christmas as the theme this year as we believe that music brings people together, like in LRT-1, we are bringing people from different places together. This is also our mindset as we journey forward and look ahead to better, brighter times in the coming new year,” he added.

The Christmas-themed train campaign first rolled out in 2016.
