the project is lrt1 extension most probably lrt1 ang design nian.. ndi nmn kc yan new line eh so existing lrt1 trains will just pass through that extension..

yeah, bka same design... pero baka maging 3 stories parang mga lrt2 stations, sa pinakataas ang platform, sa gitna ang concourse at barriers, sa baba ang entrance... pero sa roof design baka i-pattern na sa lumang stations

Yung Recto station ng lrt2 line na yata ang pinaka suffocating pag rush hour.. kasi walng ventilation doon sa area na maraming cart vendors.. puro niluluto pa.. ang Negative impact nito napaka init,amoy kusina at sobrang sikip dahil hindi gingagamit ng lrt2 ang south exit/entrance papuntang concourse, tatawid ka pa ng bridge sa 2nd floor. Ang msama pa pag dating ng around 9:30pm kapag naglligpit na ang mga cart vendors, Yung mga kalat nila nilalagay nila sa plastic garbage bag tpos dinadala nila sa escalator pababa.. kaya tuloy ang lagkit lagkit at ang dulas ng sahig pababa lalo na sa stairs. Minsan may tumulong COke,minsan soup... etc.. I wish LRTA could do something about this, nabababoy ang station.

The maintenance crew must also check the rubber sealants of the aluminum panels, sira na kasi ung iba, duon naman sinsiksik ng mga wlang mgawang pasahero ang kanilang basura. Some also do vandalism along escalators.. Sinisira din nla yung handle ng escalators .:bash:

ang ganda-ganda nyang LRT2, tapos hindi pa yata "sibilisado" yung mga taong sumasakay...

at bakit nga ba may mga vendors sa loob? although hindi naman sila nakaharang, eh i don't really see the need for such... lalo kung mejo pang-sidewalk vendor ang ugali nila...

no offense ah... pero talagang baboy yung mga taong ganun na sinisira yung magagandang bagay sa paligid nila... kaya dumudumi ang metro manila eh...

Kung nagtatanong kayo kung nasaan ang Bagong Barrio station, mukhang alam ko na kung saan nila ilalagay iyon...

Comparing the steel beams built in Monumento against doon sa Bagong Barrio, mas malaki ang nasa Bagong Barrio at gaya ng ibang stations, hindi pa ginagalaw ang mga iyon... basta nakatayo pa lamang sila... pero malapit na silang maabutan ng construction dahil ilang metro na lang ang layo ng pinakamalapit na finished pier.

Anyway, nagsimula na ang bakbakan ng lupa sa LRT-1 at EDSA approaching Monumento... mukhang simula na talaga ng construction dito sa bahaging ito.

red ang color ng LRT 4 (old bilibid-novaliches)
extinct na ata ang plan na yan eh.or on hold. dahil na rin kay Atienza dati, ayaw nya payagan mglagay ng MRT system na elevated sa España Blvd...pwde naman i-subway eh...nasa proper planning lang ng mga drainage:bash:

Para sa inyo ano ang mas feasible na mass transit?? suvey ko lang

-LRT 4 (Old Bilibid just at the back of Djose station up to Novaliches) route: Lerma-espana blvd-quezon avenue- MRT quezon ave link- elliptical circle - commonwealth - quirino hiway

or
-LRT 7 (North Ave to San Jose Del Monte City) route: LRT/MRT North ave link -elliptical circle-commonwealth-quirino hi-way

Proper planning ng drainage? mukhang isang panaginip yata yan, and easier said than done, ang Espanya St. biro nga ng isang kaibigan ko eh umihi lang daw ang kabayo dyan baha na:lol:, mababa yata kasi ang lugar na yan. iyan ang problemang hindi malutas-lutas kapag panahon ng tag-ulan ano pa kaya kung maglagay ng subway dyan na mangangailangan ng maintenance,:ohno: especially kung mataas ang water level ng Manila Bay at nasabay pa sa malakas na buhos ng ulan. Siguro may magandang dahilan din ang dating mayor dyan kaya hindi niya talaga pinayagan.
One reason of a politician before why LRT-4 proposal was opposed was that, parallel na raw kasi ang LRT-4 sa LRT-2 kaya hindi na ito pinatuloy,
sa akin ok na ang MRT-7 dahil sa LRT-4 marami na namang puno ang tatanggalin sa Quezon Ave. from Mabuhay Rotonda up to Quezon Memorial Circle, at ang MRT-7 ay abot pa ng Bulacan,:)

ang Quezon Avenue naman ay mas maluwag na kumpara sa España, at mas mabilis ang takbo ng mga sasakyan, at ang mga sidewalks ng Quezon Avenue ay malayo sa gutter kaya ang mga tao sa sidewalk talaga pwede maglakad, medyo nawawala na sa topic,:)

madami ng nabago dyan.. puro revisions :bash:

- LRT1 ang eextend papuntang North Avenue at hndi MRT3, tpos nadagdagan pa ng (Bagong Barrio)Gen. Malvar Station at Balintawak..

- Ung Northrail-Bonifacio Global City loop wala balita..

- Ung Northrail umuusad konti sa Malolos

- Ung LRT 6 naging LRT 1 South extension na.. wla pa din progress..

- UNg LRT 4 dormant ulit, back to drawing board..sa ibang report sabi nila Red Line ito... Instead MRT 7 ang priority (North Ave-SJDM City Bulacan).

- Ung LRT 2 Santolan station ang tawag sa M.A. Roxas station..still waiting for the east extension to Masinag and west extension up to North Harbor..

- Southrail wala pa din progress.. Only the Northrail-Southrail Linkage ang 100% on the go..nadagdagan ng bagong station un ay ung San Andres PNR station along san andres cor Osmena hiway.. Ung buli station, wla yan.

So Basically:

Line 1 - Yellow
Line 2 - Purple
Line 3 - Blue
Line 4 - Red
Line 7 - ?
North rail - Green
Southrail and NR/sr Linkage - ORange

Para sa akin mas maganda sana ang plan ng MRT4. Bukod sa dadaan ito sa busiest portion ng Manila-Quezon City corridor, matutulungan pa nito ang mga taga-Novaliches. Alam nyo bang original plan nyan ay 2 phases? I mean 1st phase will run from Old Bilibid to Batasan, while 2nd Phase will run from Batasan up to Fairview. In terms of depot, malaki pa ang area sa may fairview. Sayang nga lang bakit di ito natuloy. If ever MRT 7 will push through, pano na numbering nyan? Eh Walang MRT 4 at MRT/LRT 5? VAcuum tuloy.:ohno:

bakit hindi matutuloy yung MRT4? eh panu na yung numbering nyan? eh di lalong nakakalito na...

they have their reasons kung bakit hindi nagprosper itong LRT-4, either way okay lang sa akin pero ang kagandahan ng MRT-7 ay hanggang labas ito ng Manila (Bulacan),
it doesn't necessarily need continuous ordinal numbering of the railing system dahil may color coding na sila dito,

Getting a bit confused here, MRT 4 and MRT 7 both go through Commonwealth? But will MRT 7 pass Fairview or turn somewhere to go to Bulacan? Do we have any drawings of the routes of MRT 4 and 7 somewhere around here in SSC?

yes, matagal na nga ang mapang ito kaya nga ang inilagay ko ay "project overview", i posted this here for the sake of "newbies not the oldies" dahil may mga forumers dito na wala pang ideya sa mga lines ng rail natin. hindi satisfied ang gobyerno sa pagpapaasa sa bayan kaya nga ongoing na ang construction ng LRT-1 north extension at PNR at ang MRT-7 ay tuloy na tuloy na by next year, hindi naman puwedeng pagsabay sabayin ng gobyeno ang lahat ng ito sa isang bugso lang (ie MRT-8, LRT-2 east and west ext.) dahil kailangan din ng pondo at investors ng mga ito, medyo pessimistic lang tayo ng konti kaya nasasabi natin ang mga bagay na ito, kita naman sa mga photos dito ang pagbabago sa LRT/MRT at PNR pano natin sasabihin na plano at publicity lang ang nangyayari,

But I'm still positive on Southrail and Northrail. The new orange trains for Southrail have arrived and more are coming. May gov't commitment na yan, kumbaga parang Letter of Credit (LC), or sure payment na....:)

Think positive, things are going a lot faster nowadays, SSC people will be pissed off if these projects don't push through

Maaaring yun na nga ang dahilan ng mga proponents against building LRT sa España St. dahil ito ay palaging binabaha kapag tag-ulan. Kapag sa ibabaw inilagay mas lalong madadagdagan ang volume ng tubig dito. Kapag sa ilalim inilagay (subway) ito naman ang siguradong babahain. Sasabihin ng iba na may makinang ginagamit para huwag bahain, well kung itong España mismo ay hindi magawang tanggalin ang tubig papuntang Manila Bay sa oras ng tuluy-tuloy at malakas na tag-ulan paano pa kayang matatanggal ang tubig galing sa mas malalim na subway. The one who opposed building LRT-4 on España St. maybe has a better reasoning why he opposed it.:)

Actually, MRT-4 is still feasible following España-Quezon Ave., but when it meets MRT-7 at the Quezon Memorial Circle, it will have to change its alignment. They should know that there are other avenues to choose from other than Commonwealth.

However, aesthetically, MRT-7's alignment looks very out-of-place. It would look better had MRT-7 been extended to Monumento instead of it beginning at North Avenue.

If the España area is a frequent target of floods, then we should spend at least 100 million pesos or more for flood control projects within the said area in tandem with the proposed subway (a.k.a. the botched LRT4/MRT4 line), maximum allocation of 0.75% for kickbacks (if ever). All we need for this are political will, cooperation and support from all concerned and affected sectors (including the residents), and a grand master plan for drastic improvements in the areas that will be served by the proposed line.

dapat yang flood control na 'yan ginagawa na yan habang wala pa ang tren hindi kung kelan magkakaroon ng tren saka pa lang magkakaron ng flood control, ang mangyayari nyan maging experimental sa ilalagay na subway sa España kung sakali,

However, aesthetically, MRT-7's alignment looks very out-of-place. It would look better had MRT-7 been extended to Monumento instead of it beginning at North Avenue.

Feasible, pero if you look at the map... kulang ng rail system between the MRT and PNR routes. Since merong plano noon na iextend ang PNR to Fort Bonifacio, eto naisip kong bagong route.

North end:
*Either Caloocan-PNR (near Monumento Station LRT) OR
*5th Ave Station-LRT (Along C3 Road)

Route:
*Using old LRT 5 route (Along Araneta Avenue with connection to Araneta Station-LRT 2),
*Use the old Sta Mesa-Hulo Mandaluyong branch line of PNR or along Shaw Boulevard (going to C5)

South end:
*Buendia Station-LRT (near Buendia Station-PNR)
*Fort Bonifacio (Any intersection near C5 or Kalayaan Avenue)
*NAIA Central Station (Terminals 1-2-3) OR
*South Intermodal Compound in Taguig

MRT deal questioned
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Sen. Francis Escudero was all over media asking government to turn its back on its privatization policy by taking over the operations of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT).

Escudero reasoned out that the government—since it allegedly shells out P42 in subsidy for each MRT rider—might as well take over the MRT.

Curiously, Escudero conveniently failed to mention which private company—the present operator of MRT—would benefit from a government takeover of MRT operations after, of course, paying the private operator.

What we have here may be a case of the MRT’s private operator wanting to cash in now on all its investments while dumping all of the arrears of the MRT as a responsibility of government, which is what precisely will happen once the latter takes over the operations of the rail line.

What’s in all of these for Escudero? Why is it that he seems to be promoting the vested interest of the private operator of MRT? As a senator, he must not be seen as a pawn of big businesses because his office was first and foremost created to serve the interest of the general public.

Escudero also contradicted himself when he claimed that government—on account of its guarantee to the private operator of the railway line that the MRT would enjoy high passenger volume—subsidizes each MRT commuter. As admitted by Escudero, the MRT is always running full. That being the case, there should be no reason to subsidize anyone because the high passenger volume meets such a stipulation contained in the agreement between the government and the private operator of the MRT.

Okay. This is my proposal.

If you connect MRT 7 with.....

-LRT1 North Ext., then you get efficient travel time going to Manila.
-MRT3, you get efficient travel time to go through EDSA.

If you connect LRT 1 with....

-MRT7, you get to travel up to Bulacan, tuloy tuloy.

If you connect MRT3 with.....

-MRT7, mabilis at hindi na kailangang bumaba kung galing ka sa South, pauwi ng North.

Basta kapag pinag-inter-connect mo laaht ng lines, mabilis at in unison ang takbo ng lahat ng light rail natin dito sa MM.

Kasi di ba, ang nasa proposal, MRT3 lang at LRT1 lang ang magkakabit.

Note: Please disregard the MRT 4(marked in red). :D

How about emailing this to LRTA? No action would be done unless you report it directly to the authorities.

Binago nila yung LRT map sa urbanrail.net (http://urbanrail.net/as/mani/manila.htm). I made some changes to the map to include some of the proposed extensions. Hindi ko cgurado kung inapprove yung Bagong Barrio, so I included it on the map.

the plans for LRT2 extension keeps on changing. dati +3 stations (Sta.Lucia-Felix Ave., Samsonville, Masinag) tapos naging +3 stations (Ligaya-Rodriguez, Sta. Lucia-Felix Ave., Masinag) Tapos I read from a powerpoint presentation somewhere na +2 stations lang (Felix Ave.-Sta.Lucia and Masinag). then recently irerevise daw nila ulit. ehem.

Nirerevise nanaman nila yung study nila. most probably because of someone. ehem. hindi ko na babangitin kung sino. madaming fans dito. ehem ehem.

ui! kilala ko yan ah... hehehe....

but no, i'm not a fan... hehe....

doon ata yun sa tapat ng technohub... hehehe...

alin dun? when i said na mukhang dadaan sa UP campus, i was referring to the University Ave. station... well, either way, basta may station na ilalagay near or in UP campus... but most probably it'll be outside the campus, for security reasons...

April 10th, 2009, 04:39 PM

suggestion ko lang to:

possible path of "LRT Line 4"

option 1 : Lerma-España-Q.Ave-West Ave (Link with the LRT 1 North ext, future MRT 7 and MRT 3(maikli)

option 2: Another Loop etong naisip ko ... from Lerma(Link to Line 1) - España-Q.Ave EDSA(Link with MRT3) -Elliptical Circle - Philcoa (Link with soon MRT 7) and then pwedeng kumanan ng UP papuntang Katipunan Ave then link with LRT 2 Katipunan station then deretso na C-5 up to TAGUig.. then link with PNR FTI station then in the future pwede pa extend nila up to the end of c-5 in Las Pinas,by then extended na ang Line 1 South Extension.. ayun Link ulit with the Lrt line 1 south extension..ehehe

semi Loop..

what you think?

medyo magulo hehe.. bakit kasi hindi na lang ideretso ang line 7 sa quiapo via quezon ave? kasi nga sa north avenue ang terminus?

kung ibigay na lang kaya sa private company ang plano ng line 4? ok lang naman kasi talaga ang parallel na routes. sa tokyo nga apat na lines ang magkakaparallel (dikit dikit nga eh) mula ikebukuro station hanggang osaki station eh, mga ten kilometers un.

So we can say na this is the longest LRT System in Manila??

EDIT: Just found this. And the real plan was to stretch MRT7 up to Espana. Kung pwede sana, i split na lang nila ang MRT7, para yung isa papuntang SM North EDSA, yung isa dederetso hanggang Espana.

Let's see the odds, Walter Mart North EDSA costs, 1 billion pesos, i'm pretty sure SM earns alot of money, now we know it's worth it. So sure thing that they will fund it, shempre, but the question is.

Will MRT3's terminal station move to the Grand Central Station? Magalit kaya Ayala nyan...

Govt seeks SM funding for common station linking 3 rail lines (http://www.gmanews.tv/story/156788/Govt-seeks-SM-funding-for-common-station-linking-3-rail-lines)
04/13/2009 | 04:36 PM
Cheryl M. Arcibal, GMANews.TV

MANILA, Philippines- The government is hoping that the SM Group, which runs the country's largest chain of shopping malls, will be willing to shoulder at least half of the cost for the Grand Central Terminal, which will connect the three lines of rail in North Edsa.

Officials from the National Economic and Development Authority told reporters on Monday that since the terminal will be located right in front of SM City Annex in Quezon City, the SM Group will benefit from the construction of the common station.

The Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal will cost between P1.4 billion and P1.5 billion. It will connect MRT 3 and 7 and LRT 1.

“Incremental cost for the Grand Central Terminal is P800 million. We're hoping that SM will be willing to share at least half of that," the NEDA official said.

Construction for the closing of the LRT 1 and MRT 3 loop is underway. The new line will traverse North Edsa from Quezon City to Caloocan City. MRT 7, meanwhile, run along Commonwealth Avenue going to Bulacan.

However, the SM Group said it is still awaiting the final design for the project to determine whether the company will be shouldering part of the cost.

“We still have to see the final design. We're still discussing and we'll decide what's best for the riding public," said Jeffrey Lim, SM Prime Holdings Inc. chief finance officer.

^^ kasi kaya tingin ko nagdadalawang isip ang SM kasi kahit di naman nila i-shoulder part ng expenses itatayo parin ng Gov't yung Grand Central terminal sa tapat ng SM City...kung baga walang choice ang gov't

Ona has a good point so here is a "what if" scenario:

What if SM Prime decides to be a selfish sonovabitch, play hardball and not fund the Grand Central Station that is obviously needed for the riding public?

As we all know, the government is finishing up the purchase of a majority stake on the MRT3, hence would give them control of the line so they can do things the current majority stakeholder refuses to do, which is to expand the service by adding more trains. But logically speaking, since the government would control MRT3, they can also do things that could probably not be able to do before, like allowing LRTA to link up with the existing MRT3 tail track and allow LRT1 trains to run at their tracks.

We've established numerous times that the trains of the two lines are indeed compatible and the government can simply nixed the Grand Central Station or even the originally planned LRT1 North Avenue terminus and simply link it with the MRT3.

Who would be the biggest looser? Without the Grand Central Station or the originally planned LRT1 North Ave terminus, the only available station in the area would be the existing North Avenue Station of MRT3, which is linked to SM North's competitor, Trinoma. In addition, MRT7 which is essentally the "SM Line" would be without a common station to the two other lines.

Given that scenario above, it would be in the best interest of SM Prime to ensure that the government gets all the help to ensure that the Grand Central Station would be built as envisioned. Because even if the government physically connects LRT1 and MRT3 to make it one continous line (and it can be done and why they aren't doing that is still beyond reason), they still need a station beside the SM Annex for them to have full benefit of all the lines.

I wonder if someone from SM Prime is reading this thread.... ;)

cq40

April 14th, 2009, 01:50 AM

^^ True. So the next question is, when is the mrt3 buyout and will SM Prime contribute.

ionmarx

April 14th, 2009, 02:14 AM

With 75% of shares in MRTC, can the government do everything and anything it wishes to do with MRT3?

Magandang balita yung nasa taas, at least confirmed na ngang may GCT :) Been a long time since I last heard of it in the news. Akala ko scrapped na (parang yung MRT3 North Extension).

Funding from SM Group eyed to build rail terminal

Monday, 13 April 2009 21:53

THE national government hopes that the SM Group will be able to shoulder at least P400 million as part of the incremental funding required for the construction of the Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal (MMIRT).

The MMIRT is the grand terminal that will connect the Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3), which runs from Taft to North Avenue, Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 from Baclaran to Monumento, and MRT 7 from North Avenue to San Jose del Monte in Bulacan.

A National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) official told reporters on Monday that the incremental cost for the MMIRT is estimated to reach P800 million. This cost includes the extension of the MRT 3 to the location of the Grand Terminal, which will be located in front of SM Annex.

The project is still being finalized by the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC), including the initial project cost estimate for the entire project.

Currently, the project is estimated to cost around P1.4 billion to P1.5 billion, which already includes the P800-million incremental cost and the funding requirement for the P600-million North Avenue station of the LRT Line 1 extension.

The Neda official said the SM Group is willing to finance part of the cost but as to how much, that is still being determined. The official said if the SM Group will agree to finance at least P400 million, this will help the government significantly reduce its financial burden for the construction of the project.

However, if the SM Group will be willing to shoulder the entire P800-million incremental cost, since this will greatly benefit SM Annex, the official said this will render the project deficit neutral for the government.

The bottom line at this point, Neda Director General Ralph Recto said, is that infrastructure projects must be implemented in the quickest and fastest way possible to spur domestic demand and to meet the development needs of the country.

Recto said he had already sent a letter addressed to Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza asking about the final decision on the project design of the MMIRT. He said that there is a need for a decision to be made immediately in light of the crisis.

“They need to do it now, a decision has to be made now,” Recto said.

Earlier, reports revealed that the government will finance the incremental cost for the project. Reports said the DOTC asked the Department of Budget and Management to release funds to finance the construction of the MMIRT.

The conceptual design and location of the MMIRT emerged from discussions among the stakeholders, which include the Transport agency, the Light Rail Transit Authority, the Metro Rail Transit Authority, Universal LRT Corp., the MRT 7 proponent and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.

Govt seeks SM group aid for railway (http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2009/april/14/yehey/business/20090414bus3.html)
Manila Times (http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2009/april/14/yehey/business/20090414bus3.html)

THE government will ask the SM group to partly finance the construction of the “Grand Central Terminal” for the three mass rail transits (MRT), an official of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said.

The NEDA official said the shopping mall operator is willing to infuse capital for the construction of an elevated grand terminal that would be walking distance to commuters of all lines situated near the intersection of EDSA, North Avenue and West Avenue.

“If we can get the P400 million [from] SM, the project will be deficit neutral on the part of the government,” the NEDA official said.

Last year, SM Prime Holdings Inc. backed out of a plan to finance the construction of an additional station for the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT 1) North Extension project, after state-run Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) decided to have a “Grand Central Terminal” for MRT 3 and 7 and the LRT 1 North Extension project.

The planned Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal (MMIRT) is estimated to cost about P1.5 billion.

Transport Secretary Guiling Mamondiong said the target completion of the project is May next year, with full revenue operation on or about August 15, 2010.

The LRT 1 North Extension is also expected to be completed in May next year at a cost of P6.32 billion.

The project involves the extension of LRT 1 to the North Avenue station of MRT 3, the construction of two new intermediate stations—Balintawak and Roosevelt—and a terminal station, the LRT 1 North Avenue station.

Once running, the LRT 1 North Extension is expected to serve about 800,000 to 1 million passengers.

The 20-kilometer MRT 7, meanwhile, would cost around $1.235 billion and will run from San Jose del Monte in Bulacan to SM City station in North Avenue and would be linked to LRT Line 1 and MRT 3.

MRT 7 will start from Tala, Caloocan City, passing through La Mesa Dam reservoir, Fairview, Batasan, Diliman, Philcoa and end at EDSA-North Avenue.

It will serve an estimated two million commuters in the northern parts of Quezon City and Caloocan City.

Besides the elevated transport system, the contractor will also build a 17-kilometer, six-lane asphalt access road in Marilao, Bulacan, that will lead to its depot in Tala.

As of 15 Aug. 2008

http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/9303/railprojects1.jpg

Thanks for this bigger picture...excited for the Orange line (PNR)and Red line (MRT 7).

So, we now have:

LRT 1 and 2, 28.8 kilometers, 29 stations
LRT North Ext. 5.1 kms., 5 stations
MRT 3, 17 kms, 13 stations
Total Current 50.9 kms, 47 stations

In-Progress:
PNR Orange Line, Alabang to Caloocan, 34 kms. - how many stations?

Proposal:
MRT 7 to start in 2010, 25 kms.
LRT 6 South Extension, to start in 2010, 11.7 kms.
LRT 2 Extension, 4 kms. after 2010

That's an additional of 74.7 kms. plus exisiting 50.9 kms. = 125.6 kms. of railways in Metro Manila. Wow, this is happening in my lifetime. :banana:

:cheers: I'm elated.

SM City Sta. Mesa is also near LRT 2 V. Mapa station. What's really disappointing is that area between MRT Ortigas station and SM Megamall building A, and also between MRT Shaw station and Megamall building B. Considering so many people go to Megamall from the stations, you'd think that SM would make more of an effort to make it easier for them to go into Megamall. But no, sinara pa yung entrance from Powerbooks, then nilagyan ng harang yung driveway for exiting cars. Then bawal kuno pumasok ang pedestrians sa supermarket side. Kulang talaga yung effort ng SM to accommodate their commuting and pedestrian customers at Megamall, their set-up is too private car-centric, walang "new urbanism"

It will be of big, big, big, big shame to SM kung hindi man lang sila gagawa ng effort para yung mga taong pupunta sa mga malls nila an accessible sa mga LRT/MRT Stations near them.

Yung Grand Central Terminal, dapat half nun kahit papano ang iambag nila kasi in the end, sila din ang makikinabang dun, brought about by the influx of commuters galing sa iba't ibang lugar na pupunta sa mga malls nila nearby stations.

^^Tama!! Tapos yung sidewalk pa sa ilalim ng station masyado makipot. Pag umuulan kawawa ka. Bat di na lang nila lagyan ng elevated walkway yon na parang sa MRT-LRT link sa EDSA-Taft.

Yes, I totally agree. There should be an Elevated Walkway directly leading to SM Megamall, and even going to Robinson's Galleria. But this shouldn't be the MMDA style elevated walkways, it should be similar to the elevated walkways in Ayala Center.

The ADB should at least donate part of their land to accommodate the elevated walkway.

How about let's start a petition and write to the all the people concerned? ADB, SM, Robinson's, MRT, DOTC, LGU, MMDA, NEDA, who else?

Really nice pix kid, anyway do you have an idea on how they are going to connect monumento station and the north extension? Are they going to make a sharp curve or they are going to clear some structure in that area?

they've already dug up holes near Monumento station...

and by the look of it, they'll probably be making a sharp curve...

I think, they are planning to do like the style in MRT-3 Ortigas crossing with pylons on the sidewalk and the center island with connecting beams on top of them where the LRT-1 extension beams will be put on top of that beam, a 90 degree turn but gradual,

Paano kaya malalaman kung nasaan ang mga stations?

I have seen an indication already in Balintawak... (next of my post here)

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the forum.

Almost ten years ago, Metro Manila launched a new raiway line that plies along the busy thoroughfare of EDSA. However they do get crowded that you may have to wait 3 trains for your turn. Do you think the design of the system is flawed as trains aren't wide enough as in other countries? What do you think the designers were thinking when the system was the designed?

A thought that a friend and I discussed yesterday was that the wider Line 2 train was in the wrong place.

I think it is right in its own way. Those coming from nearby Rizal province also need access to go to work or make business which are all where these lines lie. Pero you got(and your friend) your point. Meron dating ininterview sa may ilalim ng Aurora Stn. ng Line 2, na muntik nang malugi ang kanilang business nang umeksena ang Line 2.

Pero kung para sa ikabubuti ng nakararami, okay lang naman.
