00:00It's a heavy traffic and difficult to ride

00:05that's why many commuters are forced to ride during the holiday season

00:09and even on ordinary days.

00:11A group of people asked to extend the operating hours of MRT and LRT until midnight.

00:17What is the responsibility of the Transportation Department?

00:20Let's find out with Marisol Abdurrama.

00:22For many commuters,

00:28everyday travel is a struggle.

00:30It's even more difficult when the night falls on the road,

00:34especially during this holiday rush.

00:36We asked our Kapuso online,

00:38what is your discard for the late night or night commute?

00:42One replied that he's just under time or overtime at work.

00:46The other replied that he leaves home early and just rests at the office before going to work.

00:52A netizen said that the last class of his son ends at 9pm

00:57that's why he forces his classmates to go with him on their last trip to LRT 2.

01:01If they don't make it, they log on to the ride-hailing app and split up to go home.

01:07Another netizen said that it's difficult to go out and come home at night because it's dangerous.

01:11That's what a group of people wanted to solve

01:15who asked to extend the operating hours of MRT and LRT.

01:19They sought a signature for the call to extend the operating hours of the trains until midnight.

01:25As of now, the last regular trip of LRT and MRT is from 9.30pm to 10.15pm.

01:31That's why it's important for commuters,

01:33especially those who work at night, to extend the operating hours of these trains.

01:39All passengers should have safe and reliable public transportation,

01:45especially our BPO workers, night shifters, and students who go home late.

01:51JB is one of those who works late at night.

01:54He runs to catch the last train of MRT.

01:57It's a long queue to catch the last train of MRT.

02:00MRT is fast, it takes 10-15 minutes.

02:05It's not an option to take a taxi because it's too expensive.

02:08That's why if you don't make it to the MRT, a bus or a carousel is the next target.

02:12However, the journey is longer.

02:15MRT is faster than a carousel.

02:17It's also faster than a carousel.

02:22DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista welcomes the group

02:26that will extend the operation of MRT and LRT this holiday season.

02:30But he hopes that it will be extended until midnight and it will be permanent.

02:35Some netizens want 24 hours of travel for the trains.

02:39It is also said that the business in Metro Manila is almost 24-7.

02:44According to a netizen,

02:46it would be a great help for those who have night shifts

02:48even if they are just a few newcomers who will travel at night until early morning.

02:52According to DOTR, if the operating hours of MRT and LRT are extended permanently,

02:58their maintenance teams may be worried about the need for checks and repairs.

03:05These are important to guarantee the safety of passengers

03:09and the reliability and efficiency of train services.

03:13According to MRT, their priority is to ensure the safety of passengers.

03:17It is not possible to sacrifice the maintenance of MRT

03:21because it will affect the safety of passengers.

03:25The LRT will not extend the operation of MRT until midnight.
