(1st UPDATE) The Light Rail Transit Authority points to a technical problem on Monday, August 16

The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), operator of the LRT Line 2 (LRT2) suspended trips passing through the Anonas and Katipunan stations for several hours on Monday, August 16.

In an advisory posted on Twitter at 11:49 am, the LRTA attributed the suspension to a technical problem. It did not elaborate.

“LRT2 is currently implementing provisionary service due to a technical problem. Train services are available only from Cubao to Recto and Santolan to Antipolo station,” the LRTA said.

It later announced that as of 4:20 pm, the LRT2 had resumed full operations.

In October 2019, a carriageway fire partially stopped LRT2 operations, severely damaging two rectifier substations between the Anonas and Katipunan stations.

Operations from Anonas to Santolan resumed only in January 2021. – Rappler.com
