Streets along LRT-1 stations now passable

All streets along the Light Rail Transit line-1 (LRT-1), which were earlier submerged in flood waters, are now passable, the Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) said on Tuesday.

In an advisory, the LRMC management said that all 20 stations of the LRT-1 were now passable to all types of vehicles.

ADVISORY: As of 4PM, passable na po ang street level ng lahat ng stations ng LRT-1. Ingat po sa biyahe!

The management, however, advised its passengers to take extra precautions during their travel.

The LRMC earlier monitored gutter-deep to knee-deep floods in some of its stations as tropical storm ‘Henry’ intensified this morning.
