MANILA, Philippines — The tie of a ballon that got entangled in the way of the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) between Pureza and V. Mapa stations in Manila had caused a temporary halt in its operations, railway management said Saturday morning.
Operations resumed after several minutes once the offending material was removed.
“The Light Rail Transit Authority Line 2 system is currently implementing a CODE RED/temporary Stop Operations due to entangled balloon in between Pureza Station and V. Mapa Station,” the railway management said over Twitter at 8:09 a.m.
