Lawmakers seek MRT, LRT fare rollback

Reps. Neri Colmenares and Carlos Zarate of Bayan Muna said fares at the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) should be lowered because of the lingering technical problems that have inconvenienced rail riders.

“Ang sabi nila dati gaganda ang serbisyo kapag nagfare hike? Bakit lumala pa ang pangit na ngang serbisyo? Dapat irollback ang pasahe sa MRT at LRT (They said the fare hike will improve the services. Why is it that the bad service got even worse? A rollback on fares should be implemented),” Colmenares, the House Deputy Minority Leader, said.
