The Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) is set to re-file its petition today, July 3, for a fare adjustment, before the Department of Transportation (DOTr)'s Rail Regulatory Unit (RRU), Undersecretary for Railways Cesar B. Chavez announced. READ:
Before, MRT-3’s fare hike petition was deferred due to “infirmities in complying with the requirements and procedure.”
The railways deserve a modest fare increase after their petitions were denied for a long time, Usec. Chavez argued. "The government subsidizes every passenger at the cost of P148 per head from end to end," he maintained. “The LRT-1 operator deserves a modest fare increase now after they were denied of this in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022. The same was true for LRT-2,” Usec. Chavez underscored.
