Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Sens. Grace Poe and Nancy Binay on Tuesday (September 8) inspected the new train prototype for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT).
The two senators agreed that further tests have to be carried out to ensure the MRT prototype would be sturdy.
Poe — who personally experienced the pains of taking the MRT months ago — said commuters had long waited for improvements on the train.
She said more tests were needed to ensure that the new model would be compatible with the MRT system.
Binay said transportation and infrastructure projects that had been approved during the Aquino administration should be continued by the next president.
She added that, based on previous practices, the new administration either postponed or set aside even good projects of its predecessor because of transparency issues.
Binay also said commuters deserved a better mass transport system.
