LRT-2 back to full line operations after technical problem repaired

The Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) resumed full operations before noon on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, after a technical problem was repaired.

"Balik na sa full line operation ang LRT Line 2 matapos na matagumpay na naisaayos ang problema sa rectifier substation," the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), operator of the LRT-2, said in a post on social media.

(The LRT-2 is back to full line operations after the problem with the rectifier substation was successfully fixed.)

"May biyahe na mula RECTO STATION hanggang ANTIPOLO STATION at pabalik," it added.

(There are trips now between Recto Station to Antipolo Station and back.)

LRTA said the free LRT-2 rides on June 25 and 26 previously announced will still be in effect.

"Samantala, magpapatuloy ang LIBRENG SAKAY mula ngayong araw hanggang bukas, Hunyo 26, 2025," it said.

(Meanwhile, the free rides starting today until tomorrow, June 26, 2025, will continue.)

"Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa," the LRTA said.

(Thank you very much for your understanding.)

The LRT-2 went on degraded operations on Wednesday morning after a technical problem in transformer no. 5 and no. 6 located in Santolan and Anonas areas was detected.

During the degraded operations, trains ran only between the Cubao and Recto stations.

Free rides via shuttle and buses were offered by LRTA, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, and Philippine Coast Guard to ferry affected passengers. —KG, GMA Integrated News
