ADVERTISEMENTIn a service advisory, the MRT management said that the train briefly halted at around 7:02 p.m. so the driver can inspect the trouble. MRT-3 media relations officer Aly Narvaez said one of the passengers reported a “burnt smell” inside the train. The offloaded passengers were loaded in the next train which arrived at the station two minutes after, the MRT-3 official said. The unloading incidents on Friday tarnished the MRT 3’s record of not encountering such a problem for 10 consecutive days. The last time that the MRT 3 unloaded passengers was in March 27, or a day before the trains were scheduled to undergo a five-day extensive maintenance check.
