DOTr Implements Speed Limit on MRT-3 Northbound
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) began enforcing a speed limit on the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) northbound section between Ortigas Station and Cubao Station early Friday morning. This move aims to address operational safety amid technical concerns reported along this segment.
Speed Limit Set at 30 Kilometers Per Hour
According to officials, a 30-kilometer-per-hour speed limit is now in effect between Ortigas and Cubao stations. The restriction was prompted by a signaling issue detected at a wayside signal near Santolan Station. Community members noted that this precaution is necessary to ensure passenger safety and prevent further disruptions.
Technical Team Responds to Signaling Problem
Technical personnel have been deployed on-site to conduct troubleshooting and resolve the signaling fault as quickly as possible. Sources reported that the teams are working diligently to restore normal operations and minimize inconvenience for commuters.
Commuters Asked for Patience Amid Adjustments
Local leaders expressed apologies for any delays caused by the new speed limit and ongoing repairs. They also thanked the public for their understanding and patience during this period. “We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience,” officials conveyed in a public advisory.
