The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) Line-1 has announced the resumption of its full commercial operations from Baclaran to Roosevelt station on Monday,May 23, 2011.
The integration of the entire Line 1 signaling system has been completed one day earlier than the original schedule, LRTA Administrator Rafael S. Rodriguez said.
"Our Maintenance team exerted all efforts to complete the integration works over the weekend so as not to give inconvenience to the riding public", Rodriguez added.
The permanent integration of the signaling systems of the North Extension Project with the existing Line 1 System is expected to provide a more efficient and safer rail service to train commuters.
LRTA said that about 500,000 people use the Baclaran Roosevelt route everyday. LRT-1 is currently the country's oldest and most used train system.
