The Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT 3) has set another record-high number of trains deployed in its rail line history, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced on Monday.
According to the DOTr, the MRT-3 has broken its own record for the highest number of running trains deployed on its mainline after it fielded 23 train sets on Sunday, January 17.
“This was the first time that the MRT-3 deployed total running trains of this figure, after it first recorded an all-time high of 22 running trains last September 21, 2020,” the DOTr said in a statement.
MRT-3 Director for Operations Michael Capati said the increase in the number of trains deployed helps in augmenting the capacity of the rail line to load more passengers amid public transport restrictions due to the pandemic.
