I take the train (MRT) to and from Makati all the time. Rain or shine, this is still the best way to travel. From Kamuning to Makati it takes me 10 minutes, which would take an hour by car or bus. I don't always get to sit but it is such a short ride that it doesn't really bother me.
This evening I took the last train home. The rain was falling hard but this isn't unusual weather for this time of the year. What WAS unusual was that it was also raining inside the train. Yes, I said inside the train! I was in section 015-C of the MRT and the center aisle was wet from the water dripping along the ceiling. We (the passengers) were just thankful that it wasn't falling on our heads but there were sections were the water was quite profuse. I was lucky enough to be far enough away that I wasn't getting wet. But I was waiting for the lady near the puddle to just open her umbrella.
What was weird was that when we looked ahead to the section ahead of us (015-B) they were completely dry.
This doesn't speak well of the maintenance of our public transport system. I wonder how long it will take for the authorities to attend to this?
