DOTr removes viral, ‘tactless’ MRT-3 signageMANILA, Philippines — A signage encouraging commuters to climb the stairs instead of using the escalators on the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) has been removed by the Department of Transportation (DOTr). On the contrary, the convenience of the commuters is always our priority,” the MRT-3 management said. Station supervisors took the initiative to put up the “unnecessary” signage, the management said. “It was initiated by one of the station supervisors, not sanctioned by the MRT-3 management and was poorly communicated, which only led to misunderstanding. Apologizing for the signage, the management said, “There was never any intention to invalidate or diminish commuters’ experiences or concerns.
