If riding the MRT today is an act of penitence, a shutdown will bring untold horrors. The EDSA bus system cannot absorb the passenger load. Traffic movement along this route, unbearable as it already is, will become a nightmare. The social dislocation and the economic costs will be incalculable. Life in the entire metropolitan area will be disrupted. It is easy to blame the mismanagement of the MRT on incompetence. That is just too obvious. Less obvious is the possibility that MRT has been reduced to this disastrous state because of corruption. This is the root of the lousy maintenance contracts entered into by the DOTC and the brazen powerbrokers actually dictating on this agency.
