LRT2 ops back to normal after homeless person entered viaduct


Though Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT2) operations were briefly disrupted on  Friday morning when a homeless person entered the viaduct of one of its stations, the matter was resolved and operations returned to normal after nearly two hours.

In an advisory posted on its social media pages, the Light Rail Transit  Authority (LRTA) reported that at 6 a.m., August 16, LRT2 operations were limited to Antipolo to V. Mapa stations and vice versa.

The implementation of a provisionary service was “dahil sa isang taong  grasa na kasalukuyang nasa viaduct ng V. Mapa station (due to a homeless person who is currently in the viaduct of the V. Mapa station).”

 

 

The LRTA issued an update at 7:25 a.m., announcing that the whole line operation of LRT2  from Recto to Antipolo stations and vice versa had returned to normal.

 

 

According to a report on GMA Integrated News’ Balitanghali, the homeless person was rescued by the combined efforts of the local government unit and the Bureau of Fire Protection. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
