The rehabilitation of the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT-3) will start this month and is expected to end after more than three years, according to a report on Unang Balita.
Officials said there is a need to overhaul the transport system, which has 72 light rail vehicles.
The repairs will include the rails, power supply, signalling system, public address system and the CCTV Network.
Also included in the repair program are the escalators and elevators of the 13 train terminals.
The work on the MRT-3 will be affecting about 300,000 passengers a day.
However, officials said, the agency will maintain at least 15 running trains every day.
Additional LRVs will be added as the as the repair work progresses.
If there would be a need to suspend operations due to the repair work, this would be scheduled on a holiday.
Officials also assured, there will be no fare hike as the system undergoes the needed repairs. — BAP, GMA News
