According to Tugade, the line now has 22 trains, 16 more than the previous six trains. This, he said, would reduce the headway from 11 minutes to 3 to 3. 5 minutes.

As a result, the average daily number of passengers will also increase — from 200,00 to 600,000.

The rehabilitation of MRT 3 started in 2019 after the Philippines and Japan signed a P38-billion yen (P18 billion) loan agreement for the project.
