#mrt suspension

Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced today that LRT 1 and 2, PNR, and MRT-3 will be suspending their operations for Holy Week to undergo general maintenance. MRT-3 and Bus Augmentation Service will not operate from March 28 to April 1. After 7 years, the awaited MRT Line 7 will finally see the light as Universal LRT Corporation BVI Limited (ULC) is ready to start construction in a few days. The rail component MRT7 project is a 22.8-kilometer rapid-transit system with 108 rail cars in a 3-car train configuration. 14 trains will be contructed along the route of the new MRT starting from San Jose del Monte, Bulacan to North Avenue, Quezon City. There will be a common stationat the end of the line, which will be located near TriNoma, wherein passengers will be able to transfer to the existing MRT3 and LRT1. If you're one of the usual commuters who often ride the MRT or LRT, don't be surprised if you'll be paying for more than what you actually do. Meanwhile, the biggest price increase will be at the EDSA-situated MRT-3 line, and this will mean an additional one peso for the base fare and another additional peso for every succeeding kilometer.
