LRT-2 resumes full operations after power issue; to offer free rides until Thursday
Operations on the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) were disrupted on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, due to a technical issue with transformers no. 5 and no. 6, leading to provisional service between Recto Station and Araneta Center-Cubao Station.
The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) successfully repaired the technical problem with the rectifier substation, with full operations resuming before noon on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
LRTA Administrator Hernando Cabrera stated that after isolating the affected trainset, the system failed to reset and re-engage, which was the primary issue addressed.
He also assured that measures will be taken to prevent recurrence of the problem once identified.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon ordered that the LRTA offer free LRT-2 rides on June 25 and June 26, 2025, to compensate commuters affected by the service interruption.
Free rides are effective for the whole day on Wednesday and Thursday, with additional buses offering free rides from Antipolo to Cubao.
