As of 7:37 a.m. the MRT-3 service status bulletin has not been updated.

Radyo dzBB reported at about 7:40 a.m. that the service interruption was due to a technical problem.

DzBB's Alan Gatus later reported that a train stalled between the Ayala and Magallanes Stations, disrupting both northboud and southbound operations between Boni Station and Taft Avenue Station.

Full operations of the MRT3 system were back at about 8:47 a.m.

Administrators are investigating what caused one of the trains to stall, Alan Gatus said in a later report.  —LBG, GMA News
