Narrative Research Paper: Metro Manila Rail Transit

“Metro Manila Rail Transit’s (MRT) half a million everyday passengers, really want to get on their offices on time on the morning and get home at night, without the long queue or risking their lives”

-Shakira Sison (Rappler)

As I was hearing stories from my uncle on how awesome MRT was on its early days of operation.Well, It makes me drive my curiosity to try to ride MRT for the first time.
