DOTr orders suspension of MRT-3's bulky luggage policy

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) ordered a suspension of the Manila Metro Rail Transit System's (MRT-3) policy regarding hand-carried luggage on Thursday, April 2.

Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon questioned the old policy that limits bulky objects or luggage larger than two feet by two feet in size and ordered MRT-3 General Manager Michael Capati to suspend it.

Following the order, Capati suspended the policy immediately and began reviewing it on Friday, April 4.

Capati assured commuters that their feedback is valued during the review process.

Among recent changes at MRT-3 are extended operating hours and improvements to accommodate passengers more conveniently.
