The Light Rail Transit-1 (LRT-1) has enforced a crowd control scheme to address congestion at some areas of the station and promote passenger safety.

In a tweet posted on Friday, the management of LRT-1 said the crowd control scheme would be from 7 a.m to 10 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. when passenger traffic is at its peak.
