Why not get the LRT's maintenance provider nalang for MRT?

If I recall, nobody wanted to be the MRT 3 service provider during the twilight of the yellow administration because the system was badly managed and the now obsolete trains were strained (Light trains operating like a full train system) to the braking point.

The goverment had to do a negotiated contract with Busan.

There were no parts since the service provider then did not prepare any since it's contract was on a monthly basis.

The DoTR is in for a repeat. What it did was a PR stunt without thinking of the consequence.

Best to sell the entire system to Metro Pacific since the taxpayer's money is being poured into a black hole. How much was wasted for those useless rolling stock bought from Dailan?

LRT and MRT are different and lack commonality. And the MRT is still owned by private consortium under a highly defective PPP contract.

What I meant was the service of LRT's maintenance provider is way better than the MRT's. hehe

Trains and parts are of course different pero yung level of service man lang sana, at least mas maganda.

on the contrary matters will get WORSE before it gets any better

poorly maintained rails will destroy any train, even brand new ones

we have old coaches plying old undulated rails. end result is stalled coaches impeding the movement of commuters

the light at the end of the tunnel can be seen only with the complete overhaul of the MRT3 system

+1 on this. The best route is to open a bid to sell the entire system, lock, stock and barrel to a private group.

It will likely result in higher fares, but, if proper, reliable, convenient service is given, then it will be fine.

Who would want to buy the broken system?

IIRC P17K ang 1week unli transpo sa train sa Japan per pax. Pero sulit nga naman bayad dahil maganda service.

Hindi puwede sa public transport yung titipirin, masisira agad talaga. Maintenance is the key, eh you need good cash flow of money for that.

MVP's group does. MVP group revives bid to buy gov’t stake in MRT3 | Inquirer Business

It's a business, and so long as they acquire it for the right price and are given flexibility in recovery of capex and opex, there's money to be made. What really killed the ability of MRT3's ability to properly maintain and upgrade was the ridiculously low fares that was set by government with no adjustments for over 20 years.

It is not the low fares that ruined MRT3. It is the politicians who ruined it.

The reason fares are low is because it is highly subsidized by the govt which is not uncommon. MRT operators receive additional money on top of the ticket value.

pave over the entire length of MRT3

put those edsa buses up there

bawas traffic sa edsa at the same time may masasakyan sa itaas

My Mom also asked me why the MRT is newer than LRT but it breaks down more often than the LRT. I did not know what to answer.

Bakit nga ba LRT hindi sirain?

[chronicle]

Sirain din ang lrt. Mapanghi pa. Di lang nasa balita kasi ang service area nya is caloocan ,manila ,pasay. Far from the cbd.

Plus, ang news stations is along edsa. Labas lang sila, may balita na sila.
