00:01For a lot of commuters, the struggle is real every day of the trip.

00:06It's even more difficult when the night falls on the road, especially during the holiday rush.

00:11We asked our Kapuso online,

00:13what do you discard for a late night or night commute?

00:17One replied that he's just under time or over time at work.

00:21The other replied that he leaves home early and just rests in the office before going to work.

00:27A netizen said that his son finishes his last class at 9 p.m.

00:31That's why he forces his classmates to go with him on their last trip to LRT2.

00:35If they don't make it, they open the ride-hailing app and split up to go home.

00:41Another netizen said that it's hard to go out and come home at night because it's dangerous.

00:46That's the solution that a group wants to extend the MRT and LRT operation.

00:53They found a firm to extend the MRT operation until 12 p.m.

00:59As of now, the last regular trip of LRT and MRT is from 9.30 p.m. to 10.15 p.m.

01:05That's why it's a big deal for commuters,

01:07especially those who work at night if the operating hours are extended.

01:13All passengers should have safe and reliable public transportation,

01:19especially our BPO workers, night shifters, and students who go home late.

01:25JB is one of those who often stays up late at work.

01:29He runs to catch the last trip of the MRT.

01:32It's a long queue if it's a rush hour.

01:35If it's a MRT, it's fast. It's about 10 to 15 minutes.

01:39It's not always an option to take a taxi because it's too expensive.

01:43That's why if you don't make it to the MRT, the next target is a bus or carousel.

01:47That's why it's a long trip.

01:50MRT is faster than carousel.

01:52You can even stand on the MRT.

01:54But for us, carousel is faster.

01:56It's also fast.

01:57DOTR Secretary Jaime Bautista said that the operation of MRT and LRT will be extended this holiday season.

02:05But he said that it should be extended until midnight and make it permanent.

02:10Some netizens said that it's a 24-hour trip.

02:15They also said that it's almost 24-7 in Metro Manila.

02:18A netizen said that it's a big help for those who have a night shift.

02:22Even if it's just a few passengers, they can travel at night until early morning.

02:26According to DOTR, if the operating hours of MRT and LRT are extended permanently,

02:32their maintenance teams will be able to do the necessary checks and repairs.

02:39These checks and repairs are important to guarantee the safety of passengers and the reliability and efficiency of train services.

02:47According to the MRT, their priority is to ensure the safety of passengers.

02:52The maintenance of the MRT cannot be sacrificed because it will affect the safety of passengers.

02:59The LRT has not yet issued an order.

03:03For GMA Integrated News, I am Marisol Abdurrahman.
