MRT-3 ops suspended due to cut cable

(Eagle News)–Metro Rail Transit-3 operations were suspended on Friday, Sept. 6.

An advisory from MRT-3 said the suspension starting 6:42 a.m. was due to a cable of the Overhead Catenary System (OCS) being cut at the northbound Guadalupe Station, which caused insufficient power supply from Shaw Boulevard to Santolan.

The MRT-3 said repair was ongoing so far.

It said additional buses have been dispatched to ferry MRT-3 passengers to their destinations.

“After restoring operations, we will investigate how the overhead catenary cable could have been cut,” the MRT-3 said.

“Thank you and we are sorry for the inconvenience,” it added.
