Implementing Agency:
Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC)
Project Description:
With Metro Manila’s rapidly urbanizing cities, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) plans to implement a Mass Transit System Loop that will connect the fast-developing Bonifacio Global City, Makati Central Business District, and the Mall of Asia area in Pasay City. This project aims to improve inter-city linkage by providing a higher capacity public transportation system that would facilitate fast and convenient mobility of goods and services. The mass transit project also intends to address the high volume of vehicular traffic traversing in these major business districts of the Metro.
Prefeasibility studies identify that a rail-based transport system is needed to address traffic congestion and convenient travel. Given Metro Manila’s current infrastructure, it was also determined that the rail line of approximately 12 km will need to run mostly underground, making this the first subway in the country.
Estimated Project Cost;
PhP 135 Billion | USD 3 Billion
Status:
A detailed feasibility study is currently being undertaken to determine the viability of such a project for PPP.
