DoTR to MRT-3: Don’t blame hot summer for train glitches

The Department of Transportation (DoTR) does not buy the explanation of the Metro Rail Transit-3 (MRT-3) management that supposedly blamed the hot summer weather for their trains' technical problems.

DoTR Undersecretary for Railways Cesar Chavez notes, the MRT has just gone through a four-day maintenance check up during the Holy Week.

Yet the following Monday and Tuesday, train operations were still marred by technical glitches.

Chavez says, it is time to admit that human errors may have been committed.

He suspects, the MRT may have failed to purchase some parts for repair and maintenance or there were wrong orders made.

At the start of the Duterte administration, Chavez was appointed MRT-3 Director for Operations.

“Hindi namin sinisisi ang pagtirik ng panahon (we were not blaming the hot weather),” he recalled.
