MRT 3 Woes

I had been riding the MRT 3 everyday. This is the only mode of transportation which I believe can bring me to my destination in a fast way without traffic. But as the days come, the MRT 3 system is becoming worst and inefficient. Before, 15 trains are being used to accommodate the riding public, but now it has only 7 trains running to accommodate the 250,000 daily commuters. It is a pity that people need to push and force themselves to get in even the train is already full of passengers. The tremendous long lines in each station which will take you about 20 minutes to wait just to get in is also a suffering for the commuters to endure everyday. There are many times during the rush hour that trains will stop in the middle of the railway and passengers need to off-load and walk to the nearest station. To add insult to injury, some air conditioning system of the trains are not working and this makes people more inconvenient.  This is the everyday ritual and challenges that the riding public has to experience to the worsening situation of the MRT 3 system. The government should take an immediate action and solution to this situation especially to its numerous train malfunctions, system failures, electrical failures, and lack of power supply, etc. The riding public are becoming fed-up to the promises that it will take the necessary action to solve the problem.  The MRT 3 system is the only answer to the worsening traffic situation particularly in EDSA. It is the only mode of transportation that the people see will bring them to their destination without traffic, and I believe so if only all the trains are running in good condition. I hope in the coming days, the MRT-3 administration will find an immediate solution to solve these problems.
