Kapag nakatali maaaring magkaroon tayo ng operational problem niyan sa loob ng tren o sa istasyon,&quot; he added.</p><p>(Cleanliness should be maintained. We are implementing the usual policies in place in other pet-friendly establishments. Pets should be caged. If they are just leashed, we could have operational problems inside the train or station.) </p><p>The LRTA also discourages the public from bringing &quot;large&quot; pets given how trains could be crowded, especially during rush hours. </p><p>&quot;Kapag malalaki na, mahihirapan naman nang ipasok sa tren. Siksikan kung minsan sa tren,&quot; Cabrera said. </p><p>(If the pet is too big, they could have difficulty boarding the train. Sometimes it&#x27;s packed with passengers.) </p><p>He said the LRTA would release additional guidelines on the policy that it teased on its social media pages on Wednesday. <br/> <script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></p><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialLRTA/posts/pfbid0tWrrFvk2p6dPUijAFKrmstGg26mvdusqahqFHVs75jkxNjhsQinFXHar59periVPl?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr" data-width="auto"> </div><p>Early last year, certain pets were also allowed inside MRT-3 trains, with their owners required to follow several rules. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/multimedia/photo/05/16/https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/multimedia/photo/05/16/22/pets-allowed-at-mrt-322/pets-allowed-at-mrt-3">MRT-3 allows entry of pets</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/05/16/22/fur-babies-pwede-na-sa-mrt-3">Fur babies pwede na sa MRT-3</a></li></ul><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2435532" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
