00:00The Transportation Department favors the construction of a barrier

00:05to block the platform of train stations in the country.

00:08But that's difficult, according to the company that runs LRT-1.

00:12Find out why in the coverage of Marie Zumali.

00:19This is not the first time that someone went in the middle of the railways.

00:23That's why this is the next incident in Doroteo Jose Station of LRT-1

00:27where there is a slight chance that the train will be damaged.

00:30And while the operation of the train line is still in progress,

00:33the platforms of the train station have been brought back to life

00:37by the appearance of a barrier or blockage.

00:39The barrier has a platform screen door that opens at the same time as the train door.

00:45If the Transportation Department is asking,

00:58Aside from this, the train systems in Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan.

01:04Some studies in other countries, such as Korea,

01:08prove the importance of platform screen doors

01:11to ensure the safety of passengers at the railway station.

01:15The operation of the train is more organized and the ventilation in the area is better.

01:20According to the Japan International Cooperation Agency, or JICA,

01:24which also funds some train projects in the Philippines,

01:27including Metro Manila Subway and North-South Commuter Railway,

01:31which will also have a platform screen door.

01:44The old train systems also want to have a platform screen door,

01:47but it needs to be studied on how it will be funded.

01:50It is feasible, but it's costly.

01:53According to the Light Rail Manila Corporation, which oversees LRT-1,

01:57it is difficult because the trains they use are different.

02:01It's almost impossible to have a platform screen door

02:05because the position of the doors in each train is different.

02:09So it's not really feasible to do that.

02:17They also have other ways to ensure the safety of passengers.

02:21We placed our guards in a position where the vista, they can see it very clearly.

02:28We've installed additional CCTV cameras to see different vantages.

02:33What is needed here is a continuous education of our passengers.

02:41Telling them of the safety precautions that they should follow.

02:47Increase the number of the staff, guard staff,

02:50and it might be good for the job opportunities as well.

02:53The LRMC will study the recommendation of placing additional people during peak hours.

02:58Earlier, the Hankyu Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation of the Philippines

03:03also signed an agreement to help the LRMC

03:05in improving and maintaining the operation of LRT-1.
