MRT: Got Stalled Again

MRT: Got Stalled AgainOpppps MRT Got Stalled Again!

On the eve of its fare hike, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) got stalled again at around past 6 p.m. on Saturday due to a defective train.

I wonder what improvements will MRT introduce to justify the 
50 to 87 percent increase
on MRT and LRT fares that will be implemented tomorrow, January 4, 2015.

The Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) announced that the new base fare would be P11. An additional P1 will be implemented per kilometer.

End-to-end fare at MRT 3 will increase from P15 to P28.

Those at LRT 1 will move up from P20 to P30 for single-journey tickets and to P29 for stored-value cards. The fare at LRT 2 will be P24 for stored-value cards and P25 for single-journey tickets from the current P15.

I guess Filipinos should brace themselves and should always be ready to walk on the railings in order to reach the platforms of the nearest station. 

Hay, buhay! Ang hirap maging mahirap.
