MANILA- The Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) Santolan to Anonas stations may be fully operational by September, its operator said Tuesday, nearly 8 months since a fire shut the stretch of the train line.

The reopening of the Santolan, Katipunan, and Anonas stations was slated for June but was pushed back because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Light Rail Transit Authority spokesperson Hernando Cabrera said.

This will leave only the Anonas to Cubao link inoperable. The LRT-2 Cubao station connects the line to the MRT-3 on EDSA.

Several stations of the LRT-2, which runs from Pasig to Manila, have been operating on a limited capacity since October last year after a fire razed its power transformer.
