00:07Workers in government and the private sector who leave home between noontime and 3 in the afternoon

00:13and depart the workplace from 9 in the evening to 12 midnight.

00:18The MRT 3 is extending its service hours at night spells huge relief for tens if not thousands

00:26along nearly the entire stretch of EDSA wishing to get home earlier at night by riding the train.

00:34Our Clayzel Pardilla has more.

00:38This March, Jericho is expected to begin work as a security guard.

00:44Be sure to be home late at night.

00:46The good news according to Malacanang, starting next week, the operating hours of the MRT 3 will be extended.

00:55The Department of Transportation has directed the train services to run later into the night.

01:01Currently, the last train from North Avenue departs at 9.30 p.m.

01:06with the first train leaving at either 4.36 or 4.38 a.m. depending on whether it's a weekday or weekend.

01:15According to the DOTR, starting next week, the operating hours of the MRT 3 will be extended

01:23so that passengers can travel more comfortably.

01:27For commuters, especially those who ride the MRT, it will be more enjoyable for us.

01:31Especially when we go to work and even when we go home, our trip will be faster.

01:36I can ride until that time.

01:39Actually, I can save a lot.

01:42Because when I'm in a hurry, I open the doors so that it's safer.

01:47But since the operating hours are extended, for me, it really saves a lot.

01:53MRT 3 will also increase the number of trains during peak hours or when passenger volume is high.

02:01It also aims to speed up the so-called waiting time of passengers during their ride and departure, especially during rush hour.

02:11Ma'am, it's better because especially when you're in a hurry, when you're in a hurry, when you're pushing,

02:17that's when rush hour happens, ma'am.

02:19So it's better to add that.
