LRT-2 back to full line operations after technical problem 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.
"May biyahe na mula RECTO STATION hanggang ANTIPOLO STATION at pabalik," it added.
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 25, 2025," it said.
"Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa," the LRTA said.
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

Dedicated student lanes placed in MRT-3, LRT-2
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Friday announced the placement of dedicated student lanes at the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) and Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2). DOTR said that the student lanes, placed in each station of the train system, will allow the seamless movement of students availing 50% fare discounts. Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon said the government must ensure efficient movement of passengers at transport hubs by establishing effective platform management, especially for students who want to avail fare discounts. 'Kabilin-bilinan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na paginhawain natin ang buhay ng mga komyuter. Dapat hindi rin natin pahirapan ang pag-verify ng student discounts para walang pila at mabilis ang daloy ng mga student passengers para hindi sila ma-late sa kanilang eskwelahan,' said Dizon. (President Bongbong Marcos has instructed us to make the lives of commuters easier. We should also make it easier to verify student discounts so that there are no queues and the flow of student passengers is fast so that they are not late for their school.) The DOTr's announcement also came after Senator Raffy Tulfo called for the establishment of dedicated booths or lanes for students who will avail of their 50% fare discount at LRT and MRT stations. The DOTr increased the fare discount for all students, including those taking up postgraduate studies, from 20% to 50% for LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3 last month. To get the discounted rates, students are required to present their valid ID within the current school year. Their tickets must be purchased at the ticket counter to avail of the discounted rates. These are valid for single-journey tickets only and not applicable for beep cards and stored-value tickets. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

Gov't studying to impose 50% discount for senior citizens riding LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3
The government is studying if the increase of discounts given to students when riding the LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3 could also be applied to senior citizens, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said Friday. ''Inaaral pa po iyan,'' Castro said during a press briefing. (That is being studied.) ''As much as possible, kung puwede nga pong ilibre lahat, iyon ang gusto ng Pangulo. Pero aaralin po iyan at hindi naman po natin agad-agad maibibigay or kakayaning maibigay. Inaaral po ngayon iyan sa kasalukuyan,'' she added. (As much as possible, the President wishes to make it free for everyone. But, we will study that and we cannot implement that immediately. That is being studied.) The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced the increased discount for all students from 20% to 50% for LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3 starting Friday. Under the Expanded Senior Citizens Act, Student Fare Discount Act, and Magna Carta for Persons with Disability, senior citizens, students, and persons with disabilities are entitled to a 20% discount in public transportation fares. The promo is valid for Single Journey Ticket only and not applicable for Beep Cards or Stored Value Tickets. Students must buy the ticket at the ticket counter to avail of the promo. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
