Ramps were either missing, usually blocked by obstruction, or used as motorcycle parking barring access to users. Meanwhile, the level between platforms and trains are reported to be uneven. Some steps taken are: LRT-1 – Functionality of all elevators and escalators are now being checked regularly. An emergency response system was also installed inside elevators to ensure that trapped people can go out within five minutes. MRT-3 – All elevators and escalators are operational in all stations. However, it was mentioned that MRT-3 typically shuts down elevators during heavy rains. In case of maintenance, downtime should be limited to within 24 hours for minor issues, and 48 hours for major issues.
For additional assistance, commuter’s welfare desks are also situated in all MRT-3 stations. However, due to limited resources, they can only provide personnel to major stations such as North Avenue, Araneta-Cubao, and Shaw Boulevard.
