MRT-3 reports “record-breaking” 28 days of glitch-free operations

(Eagle News) — The Metro Rail Transit 3 on Tuesday, May 22, reported a “record-breaking” 28 days of glitch-free operations.

MRT-3 media relations officer Aly Narvaez pointed out the feat, after passengers had to be unloaded at the Araneta Center-Cubao station due to “door failure” on the same day.

“Gaya po ng anumang makina, sistema o pasilidad, hindi naiiwasan na nagkakaroon po talaga ng problema. Pero dahil umabot tayo sa 28 consecutive days na walang unloading, na record-breaking po sa kasaysayan ng MRT-3 operations, patunay naman po siguro ito na epektibo ang preventive, remedial at mitigation measures natin sa MRT-3 kontra aberya at perwisyo sa mga pasahero,” she said.

Even then, Narvaez apologized to the affected passengers.

“Pero sa kabila po nito, tayo po ay business as usual. Makaasa po kayo na hindi tayo titigil sa pagsasaayos ng buong sistema ng MRT-3,” she added.
