MANILA — Rail repairs caused a delay in the operations of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Radio reports showed that the MRT-3\u2019s first trip was delayed by an hour, leaving the North Ave. station in Quezon City at 5:30 a.m. instead of its usual departure schedule of 4:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

MRT-3 general manager Roman Buenafe said that it was the clearing operations done Wednesday night between Guadalupe and Buendia stations in Makati City which might have caused the delay.<\/p>\n

Reports also showed that the trains needed to slow down to 15 kilometers per hour (kph) between the Guadalupe and Buendia stations because of the unfinished repair work. As a result, the usual 45- to 55-minute trip from North Ave. to Taft Ave. in Pasay City turned into an hour-long.<\/p>\n

To recall, replacement works were done for the MRT-3 rails last weekend. It also allowed the management to conduct a time-and-motion study during the actual works.<\/p>\n

Because of these replacement works, MRT-3 operations closed as early as 9 p.m. last Feb 28 (Saturday) and opened at 12 noon on March 1 (Sunday).<\/p>\n

No timetable has been released yet as to how long replacement works will be done, but management is set to calculate how many more early-close, late-open weekends will be implemented in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Management, meanwhile, sought for patience and understanding while these rehabilitation works are ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
