Good day.
I would like to request the data involving the MRT-3 daily ridership from the year 2019 to 2020, similar to the format of data.gov.ph (https://data.gov.ph/?q=dataset/metro-rail-transit-line-3-passenger-traffic-daily). Preferably that the dataset is in .csv or .json format to match the data.gov.ph dataset.
This data will be used only for our Research project focusing on the effects of community quarantine to commuting via trains. Thus, the data from before covid to during covid is needed.
Thank you very much.

Good day.
As stated in my original request, this data will be used strictly and only for our research paper as a requirement for a Computational Methods Physics course. This will focus on the effects of community quarantine to commuting via trains. In order to do so, the data from before covid to during covid is needed. Enclosed within the dataset from (https://data.gov.ph/?q=dataset/metro-rail-transit-line-3-passenger-traffic-daily) is the information we need such as the flow of commuters per station in an hourly basis from before quarantine measures took place and after.
If you have more questions regarding "up to what extent" the data will be used, please feel free to reply here and I will answer you as soon as I can.
Please acknowledge receipt for this message.
Thank you.

Your request
You asked for MRT-3 Daily Ridership Dataset from 2019-2020.
Response to your request
We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. You may retrieve your requested information from https://dotr.gov.ph/freedom-of-information.html#mrt3-ridership.
