LRMC starts trial runs of LRT-1 4th Generation trains

LRT-1 private operator Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) has announced the start of dynamic test runs for the brand-new 4th Generation (Gen-4) train sets along its existing line.

The Gen-4 trains will be seen running along the LRT line 1 beginning Wednesday night 04 May 2022 and thereafter, during off-peak hours and weekends to demonstrate reliability and performance including their compliance with the technical and operational requirements.

“We would like to inform our passengers that they will now start seeing brand-new Gen-4 trains along the LRT line 1, but they still cannot ride these Gen-4 trains yet. We are conducting these trial runs to simulate regular commercial operations and to make sure that these trains are safe for the passengers once we put them to commercial service soon,” LRMC Chief Operating Officer Enrico S. Benipayo shared.
