It was called a “glow up” by the operating agency.
On Monday, April 6, the Metro Rail Transit (MRT-3) resumed operations after the four-day break during the Holy Week.
During the closure, teams conducted works on the trainsets, as well as the stations themselves, with newly installed or refreshed signages and platform markings to guide passengers in the stations.
But beyond those, the Quezon Avenue station, which has the code YL02, has seen remarkable progress as the pilot station of the MRT-3, rehabilitation project.
Inside the station, which was given a fresh coat of paint with a mocha-color finish on walls, the florin was also upgraded with tactile markers, as well as louvers, a larger fan, and brighter lights for passenger comfort.
All of which were personally inspected by MRT-3 General Manager, Michael Capati, on Monday.
The rehabilitation program of the entire line, which will be the first major work to be done in nearly 26 years, is targeted to be completed by October 2029.
It will cover the restoration of all 13 stations along Line 3 to its original condition back in its opening in 1999, as well as ensuring high-grade infrastructure performance and enabling future capacity expansion.
