No fare hike for MRT-3 in 2026
Commuters can expect no fare increase for the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) in 2026, according to its General Manager Mike Capati.
Capati stated that discussions regarding a fare hike are not ongoing and the focus will be on improving the facility.
Japanese maintenance provider Sumitomo will rehabilitate all 13 train stations in 2026 using loans from the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
Rehabilitation efforts will include repainting, replacement of tiles and wiring, improvement of comfort rooms, installation of wayfinders, and addition of platform barriers.
Escalators at the Taft Avenue and Ayala Avenue stations would be replaced, with work potentially lasting until 2027.
Capati also hoped that the remaining Dalian train cars would be able to carry passengers next year should they pass safety tests.
