Hundreds of Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) passengers were stranded Tuesday noon after one of its trains experienced a technical glitch, Radyo Inquirer 990AM reported.

Passengers had just boarded a train at the North Avenue Station at about 11:50 a.m. when they were told to get off.

April Roselle Lilagan, who was on her way to work, told INQUIRER.net the announcement dismayed her, since she was already late for work.

Lilagan said MRT personnel said there was a technical problem but did not give details.

INQUIRER.net has tried to contact MRT-3 management but has not received a response as of posting time. NC/CB
