MRT suffers glitch on Monday, limits operations

(Updated 10:17 a.m.) Commuters were inconvenienced on Monday morning after the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) suffered a glitch, limiting trips from Shaw Boulevard to Taft Avenue stations, and vice versa, a report on Unang Balita said.

The glitch was due to a problem with the rails.

Announcements were repeatedly made in the stations to inform passengers of the limited operations.
