4-car Dalian train up and running along MRT-3

The four-car Dalian train has been deployed to shorten waiting times at the MRT-3 on Tuesday, August 26.

This comes after an additional carriage for each train set passed safety checks. The new carriages augment the capacity of each trains’ 1,200-passenger capacity by 500.

This is in line with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s directive to reactivate the Dalian trains after being left idle for 10 years.

The 48 Dalian trains are operational during rush hours, at 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
