I've
been tweeting to DOTC Philippines about what's happening in the MRT this
morning. I must say it was the craziest morning. Been stopping here and
there due to "red signal." There was even a sudden stop of train, like
really SUDDEN, that made people in the train stumbling down to the
floor. Just as we went off the freaky train ride, people were all
running late. Like literally RUNNING late.
I just
hope the management of MRT knows that these working people's employers
won't give a poop to why they were late (due to the defective trains and
ineffective system.) These people might get memos for being late, gets
salary deductions, promotions might get held, and a whole lot of serious
scenarios just because of what happened this morning.
Sadly, it seems like the people managing the Metro Railway Transit do not care just the same.
Suggestion to the management: Experience it, even just for a week. Get in line. Buy your tickets. Ride the train. Get out of the train.
If you're going to take this suggestion seriously, PLEASE don't do it during off-peak hours of the day. Go experience the rush in the metro!

There was a massive crowd and a very long line this morning at the MRT
station. What's new right? And to be prepared for the next day, I was
suppose to buy another stored value ticket tonight to skip another line
at the ticketing booth tomorrow morning (I guess other commuters are
doing the same.) But look what's the headline at the stations tonight
(see image)! Can't believe this!!! Adding up to the inefficiency of our
dearest MRT, most exit/entry machines are under maintenance too. Making
it more difficult not just to get inside the station but also getting
out of it. This is just crazy. And the fact that I even exerted effort
to type all this, gives me the idea that I am REALLY REALLY FRUSTRATED,
ANNOYED AND UPSET ABOUT THE MRT.
Just a quick shoutout to #DOTC @DOTCPhilippines #MRTPhilippines
- I thought you folks are making the system better. Don't just install
useless LED TVs that says "No scheduled train," I think you should first
install a good system and machines that would cater more on fixing the
basic things: Annoying Tickets that frequently gets rejected, tickets
supply, Entry/Exit Machines, etc... Why don't you guys try your own
system? Go experience it first hand. For sure, you'll understand why
people are ranting about you and your systems.
