MANILA, Philippines — Hundreds of commuters were stranded on Wednesday morning after the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) limited its operations due to a technical issue that caused delays in the opening of the railway system.
In an advisory, LRT-2 management said train operations resumed partially at 7 a.m. from Recto Station and Antipolo Station. However, full line operations could not be restored immediately.
By 9 a.m., LRT-2 began provisional service, with trains running only between Recto Station and Araneta Center-Cubao Station, and vice versa.
“We thank the public for their understanding and cooperation,” the advisory said.
The rail operator has not yet disclosed the exact cause of the glitch, but assured commuters that efforts were underway to resolve the issue and restore full operations as soon as possible.
