Manila, April 4 -- The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has ordered the lifting of restrictions on hand-carried luggage at the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3).

The policy, as prescribed under Office for Transportation Security Memorandum Circular 004 series of 2019, bans luggage larger than 2 feet by 2 feet from the train line.

In a statement on Thursday, the DOTr said Secretary Vince Dizon questioned the policy and ordered its suspension and review by MRT-3 General Manager Michael Capati.

"This should not make the lives of commuters even more difficult," Dizon said.
