Let’s see if this helps.
“Starting Monday, Feb 24, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) will extend operating hours as part of a test run” to determine its viability,” reports ANC.
The move is intended to “check whether extended operating hours will encourage motorists to take the train instead of their cars.”
So, from February 24 to March 7, the MRT will start operations at 4:30am from the North Avenue station and 5:00am from the Taft Avenue station.
Then, from March 10 to 21, it will also extend the evening runs up to 10:30 p.m. from the North Avenue station and 11:00 p.m. from the Taft Avenue station, in addition to the earlier opening hours.
After the four-week test run, the MRT will make a recommendation to the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC).
