I've heard about the problems that's going on with the MRT here in my country. And one of the serious annoying things that's happened recently was the leak on the AC.
I mean it's like a storm inside the train car. Good thing they mostly got umbrellas but literally looks awkward.
Glad I don't get this kind of trouble. When I was a frequent commuter the train was state of the art for me back then.

I live in the province now. My first experience with the MRT when it was newly operational was very pleasant. It's sad that it is in bad condition now. Perhaps it will get fixed soon.

Hello @yoalldudes I don't think they can get it done soon with all the deterioration that's happened over the years.

Hello @caopaopao Yeah, only in the Philippines as of this moment. I am afraid if any short circuit happens over this train they would have electrocuted.

@Letranknight2015 Yeah it got politicized that made it worst. The services cannot be delivered anymore because the people that gets assigned there are really not qualified and just apolitical appointee. Of course when problem happens they would scramble for a solution and no one is qualified to tackle it since they do not know anything in the operation and maintenance of it.

@rsa101 It really got screwed also because the rails and wires were being stolen for scraps. They were a lot of anomalies.

Hello @Shellyann36 they keep fixing it, they should just replace it with a new one. That type of train had been around since 2002 or something.

Hello @YrNemo Not to mention it's all electricity on the ceiling that could have electrocuted. Well, they better have those umbrellas now a days.

When I was still there, I remember buying a very ugly car with no shame because I got tired of commuting. So MRT is still a mess..

we have the tricycle as our mode of transportation here, and when we stay at the back of the driver and it rains, we get wet especially if we do not have umbrellas to protect us from the rain

Same here, it's the reason I did not want to work in Manila! I pity the commuters who have to suffer such things daily!

Hello @acelawrites Most of them have no choice, bus can't go there much anymore and some of them were forbidden to go. Now, single person in a vehicle are mostly not allowed now.

Hello @Icydoll well, just sharing though. I read it gets congested when there's a rush hour over there.
