(Eagle News)–The Metro Rail Transit-3 has extended the period the first set of Dalian trains will run on the tracks.
In a statement, the MRT-3 said the trains will run until Nov. 30, from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. everyday.
The MRT-3 earlier said these would run from Oct. 15 to Oct. 31 only.
“Ang dahilan ng pagpapalawig ng initial trial period ay upang maobserbahan pang mabuti ang performance ng Dalian train set sa linya ng MRT-3,” the MRT-3 said.
MRT-3 Director for Operations Michael Capati said that so far, no issues have been observed.
“Noong tinanong po namin ang aming mga mananakay at satisfied naman po sila sa pagsakay at pag-launch natin ng Dalian train,” he said.
The MRT-3 said the extension would also help to ferry passengers who are expected to travel for the holidays.
Each Dalian train set has three wagons that can carry 1,050 passengers each trip.
