Is there a reason to be paranoid? If you typically take an MRT (Metro Rail Transit ) ride everyday, there is a reason to. I am not scaring you, but accidents like what had been reported all over the media this week is just so hard to ignore.
Last Tuesday, it was reported that the downward escalator at the MRT Ayala Station suddenly stopped. 10 people were said to be hurt and 2 were serious according to the GMA News.
And on Thursday, the brakes of a train got stuck near the Santolan Station. As reported in Manila Times, smoke was seen in front of the train that caused a commotion. The passengers rushed to get outside. Seven passengers were reported to be injured.
The train has to be replaced but due to budget constraint, that won't be possible. Unless the MRT would push through with their fare hike then they could probably come up with a budget.
I just hope the changes has to made quickly. If something needs repair, maintenance or replacement, I hope it is going to happen soon. We are talking about lives here.
