For several years, I used to take the LRT and MRT going to work. Though crowded, it has always been one of the most fastest ways of getting to work as I live in Manila and work all the way in Makati. However, these past few months, the number of incidences our railways systems face have continued to go up. From slow trains, to broken trains and even unexpected accidents.
After all the reports, and personally feeling that the struggle was real, I just gave up riding the LRT and MRT…ESPECIALLY the MRT.
From more than 50 trains several years ago, there are now less than 8 operational trains in the MRT. This if course means longer lines and more crowded carts.
