More than 800 passengers were unloaded again on Monday from the Metro Rail Transit line 3 (MRT-3) as another southbound train stopped due to a system failure.

In an advisory, MRT-3 media relations officer Aly Narvaez said 870 commuters were affected by the second technical glitch that occurred at the Shaw Boulevard Station.

The service disruption at 9:49 a.m. was caused by an “electrical failure in motor” due to “worn-out electrical sub-components”, Narvaez said.
