Friends, looks like this is now “normal.”

On Wed, Oct 1, it was reported that a Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) train stalled near the Santolan station.

“Now, it’s Thur, Oct 2, and it has happened again. This time, the MRT-3 operations were disrupted anew due to a broken rail along the southbound tracks at the Boni Avenue station in Mandaluyong City,” reports Dennis Carcamo on Philstar.com.

The report noted: “The discovery of the broken rail forced the MRT management to limit the trip from North Avenue to Shaw Boulevard stations.”

According to MRT-3 officer-in-charge Renato San Jose, they “traced the track abnormality shortly before 8am.” Then, at around 8:40am, full line operations resumed from North Avenue to Taft Avenue.

We wonder what sort of technical issue the MRT will experience tomorrow.
