Last month, Line 3 of the Metro Rail Transit might add three more sets of Dalian trains. It is currently waiting for the approval from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and Japanese maintenance provider Sumitomo.

MRT-3 director Mike Capati said that this will be of great help if they can make the trains fully operational.
