MRTC: Govt acquisition of MRT won’t solve safety issue

Metro Rail Transit Corp. (MRTC) said on Tuesday addressing the problem of safety in the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) system will require proper maintenance and notmerely “an equity value buy-out” by the government.

“An equity value buy-out will not address the problem of safety. The problem of safety can only be addressed by getting a qualified maintenance provider,” MRT Holdings spokesperson David Narvasa said.
