MRT-3 to strictly enforce its priority area starting August 16

If you are someone who is eligible to stay in MRT-3’s priority area, then there are some things you need to bear in mind starting August 16.

To further prioritize those entitled to the priority area, MRT-3 is starting to enforce new rules for the area. The important notes from the letter shown above are as follows:

Senior Citizens must now bring an ID to prove their age.
PWD’s must have their PWD ID issued by the NCDA or their LGU.
Pregnant women without a discernible baby bump must show an ID, as well as proof of their pregnancy in the form of a medical certificate or ultrasound result.
Children under the age of seven, or 4′ tall

This stricter enforcement of the priority area will start on August 16, and we advise those eligible to ensure that they always have the necessary requirements on hand when commuting via MRT-3.

dapat din un mga matitigas ang ulo wag na pasakayin. un mga hindi marunong pumila at sumunod wag na papasukin. ang pila kasi nasa left and right ng platform sa yellow arrow. pag dating ng coach/train sa station una muna lalabas mga pasahero, next is papasok n un mga nakapila sa both sides. papasok sa loob at hindi tatambay sa estribo to give way to the next passengers sa mga next stations. un mga snatcher, mandurukot manyak at mga mahihilig manghipo dapat un pasagasaan sa tren. un mga amoy pawis at bad breath na pasahero wala tayo magagawa dun.

It will have to be stricter but on a case-by-case basis. Like when Mukhang Senior Citizen but walang ID or in crutches but walang ID.

dapat talaga well defined, kung pwede nga lang nakhiwalay ng bagon para sa seniors na sobrang dami na rin, bagon para sa pwd at buntis, at yung may mga kasamang bata dapat kalong yung 7 seven years old pababa…. kung ngabayad ang kasamang bata dahil lagpas sa seven yrs old, dapat dun na sa regular nang bagon na sakayan ng paying riding public
