MRT-3 unloads riders at Quezon Avenue Station due to technical problem

A southbound train of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) unloaded passengers at Quezon Avenue Station on Wednesday morning due to a technical problem.

A service status advisory on the MRT-3 website said the problem occurred at 8:23 a.m., but it did not specify what the technical problem was or how it would be remedied.

MRT-3 management apologized to the public in a tweet.

Just on Tuesday morning, an MRT-3 train unloaded passengers at Ayala Station.

Wednesday’s early-morning inconvenience marks the 17th glitch in MRT-3 operations in the last nine days. For the past week, the most glitches occurred on October 26, when five problems distributed throughout the day marred the public’s ride.

There were 11 running trains as of 9 a.m., according to the DOTC-MRT3 official Twitter account. —Nicole-Anne C. Lagrimas/KG, GMA News
