    To avail of the complimentary rides, LRMC said passengers should have their own concessionary beep card and that they should be accompanied by at least two family members. They must proceed to the teller’s booth in any LRT1 station to activate his or her free ride.

    Moreover, LRMC earlier announced that it is extending LRT1 operating hours to 11:00 pm until December 23 to serve more commuters. The LRT1 operator has added 7 more trips every night to address late-night demand.
