THE Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has vowed to provide better Metrorail Transit 3 (MRT3) service next year including fewer service disruptions and train arrival delays in exchange for the P6.6-billion budget it is requesting Congress.

The DOTC is asking for a total of P52.9-billion budget for 2015 and the P6.6 billion will be allotted to MRT 3-- P1.92 billion for “operation and maintenance” and P4.66 billion as “subsidy for MRT 3.”
