The Metro Rail Transit 3 system was glitch-free on Monday, following its five-day general maintenance work last Holy Week.
The DOTr-MRT3 Daily Operations Report showed there were no unloading incidents nor any skipping trains throughout its operation on Monday.
At one point a maximum of 15 trains with three cars each were servicing passengers. On the average 14 trains were made available. A total of 281,149 passengers were served.
However, commercial operations of the MRT3 began on Tuesday with only six operating trains with a headway of 13 to 14 minutes. It was reported that seven trains were being readied for insertion into the system.
Lines were again long at the North Avenue station for those taking the MRT.
Even the special permit bus had long queues with buses arriving at longer intervals.
Members of the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic encouraged passengers to take the MRT as there was no certainty about how many buses were to be expected and at what time they will arrive.
Some passengers however preferred to take the special bus because of convenience. “Deretso 'yung biyahe niya e. Nakakaupo. Sa MRT siksikan,” Regan Sevilla said.
Passenger Judy Balladares on the other hand said she pays less by riding the bus.
“P20 sa MRT. Dito P15 lang kaya mas mura,” she said. —KG, GMA News
