The Department of Transportation said Wednesday it signed a P7.38-billion contract with Sumitomo Corp. for the rehabilitation and maintenance of Metro Rail Transit Line 3 to ensure safety and efficiency of the mass transit system.

Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said Sumitomo, the original designer, builder and initial maintenance provider of the MRT-3, would rehabilitate and maintain MRT 3 for the next 26 months.

He said Sumitomo would use four-car train sets from the existing three-car-sets to significantly increase the daily ridership to more than half a million passengers a day, complementing the services of the EDSA Bus Carousel. The rehabilitation and maintenance extension contracts cover technical system support, maintenance, spare parts procurement and provision of other rehabilitation and capacity expansion services to MRT-3 to improve the system’s service reliability, capacity and long-term sustainability.

Another contract, the variation order agreement, documents changes or revisions to the original contract to improve the system.
