NAGDAGDAG ng dalawa pang light rail vehicle (LRV) o bagon ang Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) sa kanilang 18 na ibinabiyahe.
Ito’y para mapahupa ang dumaraming mananakay ng tren kada araw partikular na sa peak hours nito.
“We welcome MRT-3′s report that it has increased the number of running coaches from 18 to 20, which translates to an increased capacity of 2,364 passengers per hour per peak direction (PPHPD). Passenger convenience is of course always a concern, so we hope this helps riders somewhat in their daily commute by reducing their queuing time and taking them to their destinations faster,” sabi ni Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Sec. Jun Abaya.
Batay sa report ng MRT-3, nakakapagsakay ito ng 17,730 PPHPD bago magdagdag ng dalawang bagon.
Kaya na nito ngayon na magsakay ng 20,094.
Inumpisahan ito noong unang linggo ng Hunyo sa utos ni MRT-3 Officer-in-Charge Honorito Chaneco.
“When I was made responsible for MRT-3′s operations, my priority was to look for technical solutions which would improve services within the system’s limitations. One of our first actions was to deploy these additional coaches. This necessarily included an adjustment to train timetables, which took about a week to do. We also began implementing the skipping train scheme, which we have been doing for LRT 1 and 2,” sambit pa nito.
Aniya, ang dating mahabang linya na nagtatagal hanggang alas-9:00 ng gabi ay naiibsan na pagdating ng alas-8:00 ng gabi.
Bagama’t hanggang sa experimental level lang ang MRT Express Train, ipinagpatuloy naman ng Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 at 2 ang Skipping Train Scheme nito.
