The Department of Transportation is studying an arbitration case against CRRC Dalian Co. Ltd., the Chinese train manufacturer that allegedly delivered non-compliant trains for the Metro Rail Transit Line-3 system.
“The reason why we don’t like to operate those trains at this time because of the possible higher maintenance costs, and maintaining the rail line might be affected also. It can result in higher operating cost also,” he said. “We could bring up liquidated damages, because they did not meet our requirements. But of course, it is subject to agreement with them. We need to talk with them. We should be fair and reasonable in terms of what should be collected from Dalian,” Bautista said.
“We have to involve the private sector… They could come up with solution on how to operate despite the weight,” he said.
