Two hours before this incident, some 800 passengers were also forced to disembark at Cubao Station due to "electrical failure."

The MRT3's record for most passenger unloadings due to technical problems within the period from January to October 2017 happened on September 16, 2017, with riders having to get off stalled trains eight times on that day.
