Lopez conducted an inspection and found the station's conditions uncomfortable, particularly for elderly passengers and persons with disabilities.
He noted that the station's restrooms have had no water supply for four years.
The acting secretary also lamented that some passageways were blocked, affecting PWDs and senior citizens.
Lopez specifically called out the slow progress on a passageway construction, which began in March and remained unfinished.
