The Metro Rail Transit ceased its 24-hour operation on Wednesday, June 3, after just two days of implementing the scheme to service commuters working on the graveyard shift, according to the spokesperson of the rail system.
Instead, the MRT will operate on extended hours. The last south-bound train will leave the North Avenue station at 12:10 a.m., while the last north-bound train will leave the Taft Avenue station at 12:30 a.m., said Lysa Blancaflor of the MRT-3 public information officer. The trains system will open earlier at 4 a.m.
There will be a 30-minute interval between trains between 11 p.m. to 1 p.m. as only two trains per lane will run on those times, Blancaflor said.
Before the 24-hour scheme started last Monday, the MRT-3 operated from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
