MANILA - As other means of transportation in the National Capital Region bogged down due to widespread flooding, the capital's three main railways continued to operate normally.

The MRT-3 said that as of  3:30 p.m., it has 14 train sets running, and that passenger volume has been light.

Passengers are advised though that the streets in three stations may be flooded.

The MRT said the street on its Quezon Avenue station is flooded two feet deep on both the North and South bounds of EDSA.

The streets in all other stations are not flooded.

The LRT-2 said that as of 2 p.m., its operations were also normal, but there was gutter-deep flooding in the Recto North entrance, and above knee-level flooding in its V. Mapa stations.

The LRT-1 meanwhile is also operating normally but as of 11 a.m., there was gutter-deep on the streets at its Baclaran, Quirino, Central, Monumento, and Balintawak stations.  



The Department of Transportation said there was knee-level flooding on the streets of the LRT-1's Tayuman and Blumentritt stations.

The streets of its Gil Puyat, Vito Cruz, Pedro Gil, Bambang and Doroteo Jose stations meanwhile may be unpassable due to deep floods.  

There were no reports of flooding in the other LRT-1 stations, the DOTr said.
