During the Christmas and New Year holidays, roads and transport terminals in Metro Manila get very crowded because many people travel due to holiday celebrations, family gatherings, and shopping for Christmas gifts or Noche Buena food. To help with this, transport agencies change their schedules to serve more passengers. Check the holiday operating hours for LRT and MRT stations announced by the Department of Transportation to guide you for a smooth holiday commute.
