A two-week experimental run called the MRT-3 Express Train service will be conducted, from May 7-20, 2014. From May 7 to 13, southbound Express Trains will be deployed alternately with regular trains from the North Avenue station from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. Meanwhile, from May 14 to 20, the same experimental morning schedule will be implemented, with the addition of northbound Express Trains running alternately with regular trains from the Taft Avenue station from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. All Express Trains will make only five stops from the time they are deployed from the end-stations. The first or “pick-up” stop is meant to board passengers from one of the more heavily-congested stations, before going directly to the second to fifth stops, where most riders will alight. This means that the morning and afternoon trips will each ply three different routes to maximize the experiment’s impact on riders.
