If you’re among the millions of commuters riding the defective MRT trains, expect a longer journey in the next few weeks.

MRT has eight trains available for service for the time being, a report from Erwin Aguilon of Radyo INQUIRER said early Monday.

The report said according to the Traffic Control Center of the MRT, from a regular train count of more than 20 trains, only eight trains will be accessible at this time.

Known for trains getting out of control or stopping abruptly in the middle of a trip, the MRT management hasn’t issued a statement when the other trains will function. Sheen Alfred Limbo, Trainee, INQUIRER.net/ TVJ
