The Metro Rail Transit line 3 (MRT-3) offloaded around 700 passengers on Tuesday when one of its trains suffered a glitch.

The service interruption marred the public’s enjoyment of free rides on Independence Day.

Media relations officer Aly Narvaez explained that an MRT-3 train had a “door failure” at the Guadalupe station at 5:28 p.m.

Narvaez said that one of the causes of the door failure is “stress on door components, which may be caused by leaning on the door or forcing it open.”
