MRT 24 Hour Operation Will Begin in June 1

It has been reported that the Metro Rail Transit will be offering round-the-clock train rides starting Monday, June 1. Assistant Secretary Reynaldo I. Berroya, General Manager of the MRT-3, stated that:
MRT surveys revealed that most call center agents finish their shifts at about midnight and at 4 a.m. At this period, most buses and jeepneys are in their garages already, and most call center agents have to wait a long time
The round-the-clock operation is also seen as an advantage to commuters who may become stranded during the rainy season as there are shortages of public vehicles around Metro Manila.
Well, as a graveyard shift employee of a BPO firm and a regular commuter – let me express my thoughts on this move:
Kudos to the great idea of the MRT administration! I also hope that you will continue the 24 hour operation instead of just doing it as an experimental one because more and more people like me is getting annoyed with the traffic and the high cost of taxi fares in Metro Manila!
Cheers,

MRT 24 Hour Operation Will Begin in June 1…
I hope this project will push through. Making my way to makati will be easier with an available MRT to ride 24/7. Of course I only go to Makati on an as needed basis.

It’s a good news to all workers who needs to go home in the evening. The problem is, robbers might target the passengers of the train.

SElboy is right. The police should add visibility on or near each terminals. kung hindi easy prey na naman ang mga passengers.

That’s nice! This experiment is very helpful, especially to us teens, when we have to go home late night from gimikans… LOL

This is good news for everyone but like what others have been said, the passengers can easily be preys of robbers. I would still opt for a taxi if I have to go home late midnight.

good thing they done that, my two children are both working in a call center so that’s a big advantage for them and other employees.

hi snow, im here again. regarding sa MRT 24/7, talagang malaking tulong yan para sa mga taga call zener kahit dalawang tren lang ang umiikot, konting hintay nga lang ang kailangan, narinig ko nga rin sa radio na malaking tulong din ito para sa mga babaing mababa ang lipad, magdalena, o mas kilala sa tawag na PokPok, isimon mo ba naman, pagod na pagod na sila buong gabi tapos mahihirapan pa sila sa pagsakay sa mga madidilim na lugar, baka marape pa nga sila pag ganon…
o mga pokpok akala nyo pinababayaan kayo ng gobyerno ha…
tnx snow..

sana nga forebereneber na yang ganyan..mas madali kasing magbyahe sa gabi pag may mrt..kasi mapapaiksi na yung travel time ng mga papasok pa lang sa work at mga pauwi na galing work ng madaling araw.
pati boss kong tsekwa natuwa nung nalaman na 24/7 na ang mrt..ibig sabihin daw kasi wala na masyadong agent nia ang malalate pagpasok..ahehe
