Delay in MRT 3 rehab unacceptable – Poe

THE Senate public services sub-committee on transportation on Monday gave the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) five-days for it to submit a report on current status of the upgrade and rehabilitation works on Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3), in wake of repeated system malfunctions amid higher fares.

“Our commuters have long been aggrieved, and any further delay in the accomplishment of vowed upkeep and upgrade is certainly unacceptable. We must hold accountable all those negligent in carrying out their duties,” Sen. Grace Poe, chairman of the Senate sub-committee, said.
