MANILA, Philippines — The Light Rail Transit-1 (LRT-1) on Friday started to limit passengers boarding the train to reduce the risk of transmission of the 2019 coronavirus disease. The train’s management said security guards will limit the number of passengers starting from the security inspection area up to the platform. LRMC also advised passengers to bring face masks as a protocol to fight against the spread of COVID-19. The management also said senior citizens, who will become a high risk for respiratory disease, are advised not to limit their travel. “If travel is unavoidable, we encourage them to take the LRT-1 during off-peak hours,” read the statement.
