Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said the trains to be deployed is an increase from the 15 train sets operating along the line before Metro Manila was placed under an enhanced community quarantine as a part of government measures in response to the coronavirus crisis.“Ang gagamitin na tren sa Lunes ay hindi na 14 o 15. Ang gagamitin ay 19 na tren. Sa ganitong pamamaraan, madadagdagan ang biyahe at madadagdagan ang mga mananakay bagamat limited capacity,” Tugade said in a statement.
Further, Tugade said the operating speed of the trains will also increase from 30 kilometers per hour to 40 kph at certain sections of the MRT-3 mainline—particularly between North Avenue and Santolan Stations, and between Buendia and Taft Stations—starting Monday.
