(UPDATED) As of late afternoon, July 22, the northbound operation of the trains is limited from Taft Avenue to Shaw Boulevard

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – For the second time in a day, during rush hour, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT3) encountered a glitch that has limited its operation on late Wednesday afternoon, July 22.

As of posting, the northbound operation of the trains is limited from Taft Avenue to Shaw Boulevard due to a broken rail between the Cubao and Santolan stations on the southbound side, according to radio dzRH.

Earlier, during the morning rush hour, a northbound train stalled at the Shaw Boulevard station, forcing passengers to disembark and walk along the train tracks.

MRT3 general manager Roman Buenafe said on radio dzBB that the train stopped operations because of a defective door.

The management decided to stop operations for 33 minutes to check what was wrong, he added. 

As of 7:27 am, normal operations resumed for the mass transit line. – Rappler.com
