He stated that it would increase service from Tutuban Station by one trip and move its departure time to 8:46 p.m. from 7:46 p.m.

Although being in normal operation, the MRT-3, according to Chavez, is prepared to extend its final trips from Taft Avenue Station and North Avenue Station to 10:41 p.m. and 10:41 p.m., respectively, if necessary.

Jacqueline Gorospe, a spokeswoman for the Light Rail Manila Company (LRMC), told the DOTr via Chavez that the LRMC is ready to guarantee service and manpower availability for LRT-1. The LRT-1 is operated under contract by the LRMC.

Regular LRT-2 service from Recto Station runs until 9:30 p.m. The final voyage will not leave until 10 p.m. if extended.
