    A MRT train crashed through the safety barrier at the Taft Edsa Station... San Juan de Dios Hospital is packed with casualties.

    It's reported on inquirer website, but only about train derailment. No other details.

    They keep taking the much needed repairs for granted. Heads should roll and charges filed.

    Siguro naman madami na matatauhan sa pagtataas ng fees dito sa MRT. Controlled environment na nadidisgrasya pa.

    First coaches are for senior citizens, pregnant women and ladies di ba? Tsk tsk

    MRT and LRT should be allowed to increase their fares to avoid a repeat of incidents like this.

    Quoting Rappler


    DOTC-MRT3 issued an advisory on its official Twitter account, citing a “technical problem.”

    “Advisory: We are currently undergoing necessary intervention for the technical problem encountered. We apologize for the inconvenience TY,” it tweeted at around 4:27 pm.

    Apparently a train brokedown midway between Magallanes and Taft stations. A second train was supposed to push the immobile train to Taft. The passengers were not allowed to disembark from the immobile train. While being pushed, the coupling between the two trains disengaged. The first train, w/o brakes or power, crashed though the barriers. No serious injuries have so far been reported... MRT services have not been interrupted.

    NCR's transportation infrastructure is stressed to breaking point

    the road network, rail...

    lumalaki ang population pero hindi naka-keep up ang infrastructure

    poor planning

    Feeling ko wala pa rin gagawin government. Wala naman daw namatay.

    Nung sumabog nga LRT1 ano ginawa? Naglagay ng guard na susundutin ng drumstick yung bag mo.

    What i don't get is their SOP na hindi muna pababain mga pasahero nung nasirang train.

    Since its the SOP susundin talaga yun. Still the question is why.



    Left the office at 4:30 going to makati, Boni pa lang tukod na yung traffic. What more pa kaya ngayon.

    May mga sumabay sakin binaba ko sila sa shell edsa buendia, mag mrt sila to taft sabi ko na lang goodluck. Kesa magbuno daw ng oras sa traffic, magbuno na lang sila ng oras sa pila at siksikan sa mrt.
