Christmas 2023: Here are the adjusted LRT, MRT, and PNR holiday operating hours

For those who regularly travel around Metro Manila by train, do remember that the rail lines adjust their operating hours for the Christmas holidays. The Light Rail Transit Line 1 and Line 2 (LRT-1 and LRT-2) and the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) have already released their holiday schedules for the year, with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) also mandating extended hours from December 20 to 23.

So, if you’ll be commuting by train in the coming days, take note of the schedules below. If you’re going to be driving on occasion, be reminded that the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will be retaining the number coding window hours for the holidays, too.
