Bad day for MRT riders as 3 trains suffer breakdowns

Technical glitches prompted the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) to unload its passengers from some of its trains three times on Friday afternoon.

A report at 1:14 p.m. said passengers in a southbound train were unloaded in Ortigas.

MRT operations were disrupted once more at 3:53 p.m. at the southbound of Santolan-Annapolis.

At 5:27 p.m., a northbound train broke down between Ortigas and Santolan-Annapolis stations.

The incidents were described as Category 3, which means the trains were removed without replacement.
