MANILA, Philippines – Problems at the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT 3) may be happening more frequently but at least the monitoring is also done daily.
“Unang-una ay mino-monitor nang maigi ng DOTC at MRT ang araw-araw na pagtakbo ng MRT upang masigurong maayos ang pagtakbo nito at siguruhing ligtas ang mga [pasahero],” deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a text message to media.
(First, the DOTC and the MRT are closely monitoring the operations of the MRT to ensure its continuous operations and the safety of passengers.)
“Kung sakaling mang magkaroon ng aberya ay andiyan agad ang mga kawani nito para tumugon,” she added.
(In case there are any problems, the officials are there to immediately respond.)
The statement came a week after an MRT coach crashed because of a technical problem that left 30 individuals injured.
The MRT management also announced that its trains would now run slower, at 40 kilometers per hour, for the safety of the passengers.
