and it doesn't have to be friday the 13th.
it's monday to sunday, 1st to 31st.
heh heh.
but i am curious.
the are more functioning units now, daw. is there a significant improvement in service delivery now?
Per DOTr, huling aberya where 1k passengers were offloaded, reason: meh nagpumilit magbukas ng pinto.
April 17 na, wala padin yung TUV report?![]()
subsidized parin ba ng govt yung pamasahe? pwede i-tama na nila rates, para mabawasan pasahero; tapos mabilis na mapupuno mga bus, at di na mag intay ng matagal sa mga bus stop
There are times na mas mabilis ang bus compared to waiting for a train. Nakasakay ako ng non-aircon bus (not by choice nagkamali lang ako ng para) from Tandang Sora and I was in Makati in an hour. Tanghaling tapat nagmamadali ang driver dahil mainitNormal MRT ride including jeep to the station takes more than 1.5 hours.
I still prefer taking the MRT but they need to improve their reliability. When the trains were running smoothly travel time is more predictable compared to the lottery that we call traffic.
i noticed.
a number of them buses have only about a dozen passengers during certain hours of the day... ayaw pa umalis sa bus stop at baka may sumakay pa.

READ: DOTr MRT-3 completes weight-testing of Dalian trains
The Department of Transportation - Metro Rail Transit-3 (DOTr MRT-3) has completed on Thursday, 19 April 2018, the weight testing of Dalian trains at the MRT-3 depot.
The completion of weight testing, which was preceded by a series of steps including equipment installation, calibration, weighing of empty trains, and loading of weights, was witnessed by representatives from TUV Rheinland, members of MRT-3's Joint ADB-Australia Aid Advisory Panel, and DOTr-MRT-3 management.
The weight-testing was completed by weighing a Dalian car loaded with 1,464 sandbags, each weighing 17.5 kg, to simulate the train's crush capacity of 8 persons per square meter or a total of 394 passengers per car.
"Iyong weight-testing ngayon is part of a broader auditing and acceptance process. Different factors kasi 'yung pumapasok sa tanong na kung acceptable ba siya or hindi. Our independent auditor, na nagsimula noong January, will put all their findings together once all of the processes are done. They will give their assessments and recommendations," DOTr Undersecretary for Railways Timothy John Batan said in a media briefing.
Usec. Batan clarified that the DOTr MRT-3 Management will only know if the 48 Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) can be used after the consolidation of reports of the entire audit process, which will be provided and submitted by TUV Rheinland, the independent consultant auditing the trains.
TUV Rheinland recommended the weight-testing in Manila after the previous project team that handled the procurement and delivery of the cars failed to attend and witness the weight-testing done in Dalian, China in 2015.
DOTr MRT-3 is expecting TUV Rheinland to finish and submit its comprehensive and complete report on the audit of Dalian trains in one to two weeks.

Is that weight enough to simulate the weight during rush hour na sobrang daming tao?

Hope DOTr will release the result without any political bias inserted...
1sqm per 8 persons seems to be reasonable gauge of rush hour load
Bale lumalabas 65kg / 143lbsper person ang test.
