The Light Rail Transit 2 (LRT-2) will be suspending its operations from Maundy Thursday, April 6, until Easter Sunday, April 9, in observance of Holy Week, the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) announced Monday, March 13.

Meanwhile, the operating schedule for Holy Wednesday, April 5, will only be until 7:00 p.m. for both routes bound to Recto and Antipolo.

LRTA Administrator Atty. Hernando Cabrera said the four-day suspension will be allotted for maintenance activities 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,” he said.

“After the Holy Week, the normal operations of the LRT-2, which connects Recto and Antipolo, will resume next Monday, April 10, 2023, with trips starting at 5:00 a.m.,” the advisory read. – gb
