of Transport admitted that MRT-3 railcars do have metal cracks that could cause fatal derailments. The damage on four cars were detected on inspection of only 19 of the 73 MRT-3 cars from the Czech Republic, insiders said. In contrast MRT-3 has been accepting without complaint the first few deliveries of 48 railcars also ordered from China. Why is the new DOTr speaking for the old MRT-3? Not only the MRT-3 trains but the system is cracked.
