High time mrt private owners be charged

If Senators Chiz Escudero and Grace Poe can have it their way, the private owners of the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3) should be held accountable for the train system’s woes.

Poe, during a radio interview with Radyo 5 on Tuesday, noted that the MRT Holdings, the private partners of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), “have been milking the government” for years and yet they have not done anything to address the train system’s problems.
