Operations at LRT-2 are suspended from Thursday after a fire broke out due to power supply transformers mishap between Anonas and Katipunan stations. The fire was contained but operations remain suspended due to "technical and safety concerns." Meanwhile, LRTA is offering free buses from the Santolan depot to Cubao stations of LRT-2.
