MANILA, Philippines — Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade apologized to commuters for the inconvenience brought by the suspended operations of MRT-3 for its annual preventive maintenance.

 

The unavailability of the train line along with the insufficient number of public buses led to crowding and long lines of commuters stuck at the EDSA bus carousel Wednesday evening.

 

“While we were on top of the situation, we admit that the lack of available public utility vehicles (PUVs) has been a lingering problem that we strive to resolve, not just during Holy Week season,” Tugade said in a statement early Thursday.
