LOOK: It’s training day for PNP, LRT-2 as new normal sets in

As Metro Manila mayors recommend placing the NCR under general quarantine from June 1, the Philippine National Police and the Light Rail Transit Authority simulated Line-2 operations under a new normal on Tuesday.

Clad in a white shirt and jeans, some 500 police trainees played the role of passengers during the exercise, which ran from Recto Station in Manila to Cubao in Quezon City.

Having been shut down for almost 11 weeks, the LRT-2 will operate in a limited capacity once it is opened allowing for only 10% of its passenger load every ride due to physical distancing measures expected to be put in place.

This could prove to be a challenge not only to LRTA management, but to people who regularly use the LRT as their commute will surely take longer than before.

Here are some scenes from the dry run.
