Perhaps the SM Group of wealthy businessman Henry Sy should seriously consider the government invitation to shoulder about P800 million of the estimated P1.5-billion funding required for the construction of the proposed Metro Manila Integrated Rail Terminal in front of the SM City North Edsa Annex in Quezon City.

The project will go a long way in spurring economic activity, in addition to creating jobs in the present and in the future. Moreover, it will ease the government’s financial burden in undertaking massive infrastructure projects. In addition, there seems to be advantageous financial considerations involved once the terminal opens for commercial operation.

This is also a good opportunity for the government to improve its track record relative to public-private partnerships. The Edsa Metro Rail Transit or MRT is a case in point. After several years it has now become apparent that the project’s financing model was flawed, and a government takeover is now seemingly imminent.

Under that model, the MRT was constructed by a private developer using private funds, which were borrowed from private investors. The massive investment is supposed to be recovered from fare charged by the MRT on passengers, which the government will pay in the form of monthly lease to the developer. The government also shoulders the MRT’s maintenance and operation expenses.

To recoup its investment, the private developer also earns revenues from leasing out commercial and advertising spaces at MRT stations.

To date, however, the government subsidy per MRT rider is estimated at about P42, or about three times the current average fare of P14. To pay for MRT financing arrears alone, the government already spent P2.2 billion in 2007 and P2.45 billion in 2008. For this year, it is expected to shell out an estimated P1.19 billion. Government subsidy for MRT operations and maintenance, meanwhile, totalled P579 million in 2007 and P618 million in 2008; it is estimated at P645 million this year.

Obviously, MRT fares have been kept artificially low all these years to appease the commuting public, but in turn, the MRT became a losing financial proposition. If not for this, perhaps the MRT would have been financially viable both to the developer and the government. And while rental income from commercial spaces in stations is supposed to make up for the fare losses, this was ceded to the private developer as part of the financing and development deal.

And as the MRT continues to operate at a loss, it continues to run on borrowed money, with the government eventually footing the bill through subsidies. It has thus been suggested that instead of continuing to subsidize the MRT, the government should just refinance the project’s $865-million debt with “low-cost money” as it buys out the rail system’s private proponents.

It remains uncertain what kind of financing model is envisioned for the proposed grand terminal that will connect the MRT with Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 from Baclaran to Monumento, and the proposed MRT 7 from North Avenue to San Jose del Monte in Bulacan. But the government targets to partner with the SM Group for obvious reasons.

Other than its financial leverage to undertake such a project, the SM Group also has extensive experience in profitably operating mall developments. Moreover, the proposed terminal will be located just across the SM City Annex on North Avenue-Edsa, to SM’s business advantage, while it is still to be ascertained whether the property targeted also belongs to the SM Group.

The project is estimated to cost around P1.5 billion, inclusive of the funding requirement for the P600-million North Avenue station of the LRT Line 1 extension. Part of the funding will also cover the extension of the present MRT line to the target site from the proposed grand terminal.

A government official was reportedly quoted as saying that the SM Group is willing to finance part of the project cost. But as to how much, that is still being negotiated. The best-case scenario for the government is for the SM Group to shoulder half or around P800 million, which the official says will render the project deficit neutral for the government.

The SM Group is a shrewd business operator. It is unlikely to enter into a deal with the government on disadvantageous, if not onerous, terms. However, if it determines clear financial advantages, then expect it to cough up the necessary funding to see the project through. Anyway, P800 million is not that much relative to what the SM Group actually spends on building its own shopping malls.

It is in the public interest that the government convinces the SM Group of the value of the terminal project. It is also an opportunity for the government to live down its MRT debacles and prove to investors that public-private partnerships actually work to the economy’s advantage.

Just a thought: why did MRT discontinue wanting to annexe the line and instead have LRT extend theirs? Who knows where we can find a design prototype for the new stations?

Also, why are most of the stations in the system utilising 2 side platforms (trains congregate at the centre of the station) rather than a single island platform (trains are on the side)? Is this to discourage "round-trips" or those who made a mistake in taking a train from going the other direction?

^^ The government redecided not to annex MRT3 since it is also under a private company.

So LRT was chosen to extend to MRT3 North Avenue. And LRT will also be the one to host another annex to the South part of Manila particularly Las Pinas, Laguna & Cavite.

Ang bilis talaga, 1/3 finish na ang structure LRT Extention

1. Package A1, A2 & B - DMFB Joint Venture

Actual Accomplishment

Package A: Construction of Viaduct and Pedestrian Overpasses
Package A1 (km 15.133 to km 17.870) (Caloocan to Balintawak Area) 32.10%
Package A2 (km 17.870 to km 20.614) (Balintawak to Trinoma Area) 34.54%
Package B: Construction of Stations and Station Modifications 9.15%

viaduct? saan yun?

I read somewhere that line 3 should be getting old trains from Vienna's U-Bahn. What's happened to that project?

anyways, i've always wondered kung bakit di nlng nla kinonstruct un line 2 directly to divisoria and construct a divisoria station, since most of the traffic in recto station and recto as a genreal come from divisoria.

^^ naubusan lang ng budget or cost-cutting kaya di na nagawa ang Divisoria station.

same thing to the other end of line 2. dapat hanggang Masinag yun e..

sa wikipedia ko ito nabasa

Although much of the MRT has already been built, the route envisioned by the DOTC and the government in general was for the MRT to traverse the entire length of EDSA, eventually connecting to the Yellow Line at Monumento in Caloocan City. So far, the northern extension of the line has not yet been built and efforts to bid the extension by the Department of Transportation and Communications have stalled. The deadline for the start of construction, 2004, has since been moved to 2007; as of April 2008, construction has yet to start.

In the early 2000s, the Department of Justice ruled that a supplementary agreement entered that in 1999 between the DOTC and Metro Rail Transit Corporation, the consortium of companies that built the already-existing portions of the MRT, had lapsed, and as such shall be subject to public bidding. MRTC subsequently appealed the case to the DOTC, which was later denied, and has even said that if the bidding pushes through, conditions would have to be inserted which would be in favor of MRTC. The DOTC countered, claiming that there are legal mechanisms that give the department the authority to compel MRTC to build the extension.

The National Economic and Development Authority and even President Arroyo herself have said that the MRT-LRT link at Monumento is a national priority, since it would not only provide seamless service between the LRT and the MRT, but would also help decongest Metro Manila. It is estimated that by 2010, if the extension is completed, some 684,000 commuters would use the MRT everyday from the present 400,000, and traffic congestion on EDSA would be cut by as much as fifty percent.

Recent developments however indicate that the national government is no longer keen in extending the Blue Line northwards. Instead, what is prioritized is the eastward extension of the Yellow Line towards North Avenue, traversing through EDSA, in order to link up the two systems. It is envisaged that the Termini for the Blue and Yellow Lines will connect with the Terminus of the proposed MRT-7, which will link Quezon City, Caloocan (north), and San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan.

Super City

On September 4, 2007, Mayor Eduardo Roquero announced that a “super city” will rise (following the construction of the $1.2-billion Metro Rail Transit 7 (MRT) in the next 2 years) at the 200-hectare lot in Tungkong Mangga, San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan where the first intermodal terminal will be constructed (the last terminal of the 20.7-kilometer MRT-7 line from SM City North EDSA in Quezon City, MRT-3 north). Light Rail Transit Corp. (Manila Metro Rail Transit System) will build it late 2008 and early 2009 and completed by 2010. The 40-kilometer Circumferential Road 6 (C-6) will also start and branch out of the North Luzon Expressway between its Malolos and Marilao segments. At least 20,000 workers will be employed.


ang alam ko 1999 nagstart operation ang phase 1 ng mrt3, phase 2 ang extension to monumento.. but since then namatay na ung project na un.. kasi syempre nung time na natapos ang mrt puro gulo (financial crisis,lagapak ang peso,tpos after 2 years edsa 2 and edsa 3 "state of rebellion".. etc.)

i also remember pa nga ung gingagawa plang ung lrt 2 sa bandang legarda may sinunog mga supporters ni erap na abs cbn na pick up at isang machinery na ginagamit sa pag gawa ng post ng lrt2 back in 2001.


about sa station platform naman.. oo nga mas maganda ang island platform... good for interchanging.. and very convenient lalo na pag lumampas ka ng station, madali ka makakabalik.. siguro inisip ng gov't at mga private companies na baka ma-goyo sila at malulugi sila ng mga pinoy..hehe.. alam mo naman .. ang iba sa atin mapagsamantala.. :lol:

anyways, i've always wondered kung bakit di nlng nla kinonstruct un line 2 directly to divisoria and construct a divisoria station, since most of the traffic in recto station and recto as a genreal come from divisoria.

oo nga kasama sa project yan,, pero diniscontinue na by the time natapos ung lrt2 recto station nung 2004.. sayang nga e

lalo nga lang nagkabottleneck sa avenida dahil lahat ngcclog mga jeep in front of oroquieta street para magsakay ng mga arriving lrt2 passengers going to divisoria, tondo, gasak and monumento and also the other way around..

here is the difference of the main line's sidewalk to the extension's new sidewalk

i noticed na ung cinabi nyo dati na ang original plan pla talga ng Taft MRT station eh elevated.. just like north ave.. ang naging problema pala eh ung dotc kasi mas prioritize nla ung flyover na papunta ng Tramo (going to NAIA) kaya aun.. may mga nakalawit na mga rebars below the said flyover na indication of the extinct plan..

kung natuloy un malamang up to MOA sana ang MRT 3.. ang problema naman eh ung lrt 1 ang matatamaan pa rin kahit elevated na dahil kulang pa din ung magiging elevation ng mrt3 giving the distance of the proposed ramp.


kaya eto ang naging solusyon nila.. an island terminus..haha...

these view are facing MOA direction ..

Also, I believe we are the only country with a rapid transit system where the ticketing system isn't interconnected. That is you can't transfer to the other line without exiting the system of one of the lines and using the another ticket to enter the system. The remote exception to this is the SRT flash pass which doesn't seem very passenger-friendly as it is timebound and quite expensive.

Also, we are one of the few countries which has to spend more per journey for the contactless cards (ala Octopus card or ez-link) rather than less.

ok din yan kaya lang, remember na ang mura na ng pamasahe ng mrt at lrt ..15 dulo to dulo.. kung gagawin yan ez-link or etc.. baka isalin nila ung mgiging gastusin nila sa fare.. ang mabuting gawin nlng nga mga users ng mrt/lrt eh para iwas hassle bili nlng kayo ng store value.. mas mainam un.. kesa single journey. iwas pila at may free ride ka pa.. or magdagdag nlng ng more vending machines na working at always maintained.

Problem is you have to pay P100 each for stored-value tickets plus the lines are backed-up not just at the counters but also at the faregates.

but still makakatipid pa rin sa oras. hindi naman problema kung magbayad ng 100 since masusulit mo naman kung frequent rider ka. yun naman talaga ang purpose nun.

If I am a tourist going to Metro Manila, I take issue with the lack of 1-day unlimited ride passes. Almost every other city I travel in has that kind of ticket. With the pass, I usually get my money back in 3-4 rides.

Kung di sila makapaglagay ng CR. Sana miski portalet sa 2nd level pde na. Mas maganda sana kung sa loob ng paid concourse area ilagay. Para di magamit ng mga illegal vendor at mga tambay.

^^ Alam ko LRTA has conducted fire drills for the last couple of years. I'm just not sure as to whether these fire exits have been used (or if the exits were already existing during those drills).

Nabasa ko sa site ng Universal LRT Corp. Passing through Quezon Circle raw ang City Hall station? As in sa ilalim? Hehe galing kung ganun. May sketches sila sa site nila eh. Kasama yung Grand Central Station dun sa SMNE station. :D

sana lang hwag matamaan yung 2 underpass na existing na andun na project ni Mayos SB.

^^ Yun lang..... But I think, mas maganda nang elevated, like sa Bangkok Skytrain.

mas convenient if this station will be put below commonwealth ave. infront of citimall (philcoa).. tamang tama pag akyat andun ang mga bus and jeepney stops.. andun kasi ang area ng skayan going nova,sm fairview,tsora,cubao,remedios,buendia,quiapo,alabang,baclaran,sm north,UP,lagro, san mateo etc.. kesa ilagay nila sa qc circle park.. kawawa lang mga commuters kasi maglalakad pa patawid sa kabila, e pano kung pugaran ng mga holdupers yan.. Kung eyesore ang problema d2 if elevated ang railway, why not gawin nilang subway tulad ng katipunan station of lrt2, atleast walang eyesore at magiging convenient pa para sa mga commuters na mgswitch to bus or jeep .

bakit ka pa sasakay ng bus o jeep ng Nova, SM Fairview, Tandang Sora kung dadaan naman ang MRT-7 doon (or malapit doon), kung sa Philcoa ito ilalagay masyado na itong malapit sa University Avenue, at kailangan din isaalang alang ang mga bababa at magpupunta ng City Hall, kaya dapat lang na nasa tamang lugar na pareho-parehong makikinabang ang mga pasahero, passing QMC, underground ang nasa plano nila dito,

My challenge would be to have a rapid transit system built passing through Metro Manila suburbs served by SLEX.

^^ SLEX communities are already adequately served by PNR Southrail. It would be redundant to put a rapid transit system there if PNR services already exist. All it needs is an increase in train frequencies.

Hmmm, but the infrastructure is not quite modern. Trains aren't aircon, stations not quite upto par.

yup

while the green rectangular shape is where the planned station is located...

^^ observations ko lang, mukha yatang Quezon Ave. yung orange line mo sa lower right, nasa lower left yung North Ave., is that right? kasi ang road in line with Commonwealth Ave. is Quezon Ave. on the other side of QMC,:)

theres a new pnr dmu fully aircon..

Pansin ko din...... Baka plano talaga nila na ituloy hanggang Espana since the place needs access to an LRT.... kasi malapit sa UST.... :D

Pero kung hindi nila isasam sa SM North EDSA, baka hindi posible ang Grand Central Station.

Kung itutuloy nila yung papuntang Espana, gawan nila ng separate rail, pero MRT7 pa rin.....

Yung isang to-&-from rail, papuntang North EDSA, yung isa pa, papuntang Espana.....

^ nasa website na kasi ng LRT yan, http://www.ulc.com.ph/stations.html kaya ang terminus nasa North EDSA,:)

I would personally want it to go underground when it passes the QC Circle even at a higher cost. Magsisisi lang tayo na mas mura nga yung cost panget naman tingnan.

Dapat ngayon pa lang habang hindi pa gawa we should be pushing for integrated stations, wherein sa baba may mga provisions na for bus or jeepney stops para wala nang lakad lakad sakay na lang.

Hindi na kailangan ilagay yung station para sa QC cercle kasi meron na ang philcoa at UP shared station. Pls. see the UP and Philcoa station.

Ang laki ng picture.

Wala nga sa Philcoa yung station, there must be a justification for this, baka may minimum distance dapat ang station from a major intersection. It's right in front of the new cyberpark but if you're going to UP, ano yon maglalakad ka pa going to Philcoa para makasakay ng ikot?

Yun nga eh.... Kung itutuloy nila yung MRT4, from North Edsa to Espana, isama na nila sa line-up ng mga incoming projects....

Or isama nila sa MRT7.... Para lalong humaba, tsaka para hindi na isa pang separate project, na magpapalaki pa ng gastos pag nagkataon....

:)

So what happened to plans for Line 4? Also, I heard of Line 6 (the LRT southbound extension to Cavite) and if that's the case, what's Line 5?

LRT 5 is Northrail Phase 3 - caloocan to Fort Bonifacio via viaduct and underground subway system.

yan ang dapat gawin....lrt5 subway system....sign yan ng pagunlad...halos lahat ng gumaganda ang economy na bansa meron ng subway....malaysia at thailand...meron na rin....

as far as I know LRT-4 proposal has already been shelved, the government has set their priorities,:)

Wala pa ring signs ng construction ng kahit anong station sa Bagong Barrio although nauuso na ang building demolition dito sa EDSA.

sa Muñoz ay hinukayan na ang center island sa tapat ng Waltermart sa mga nakalipas na araw, mukhang dito itatayo ang station ng roosevelt, although wala pa sa sidewalk,

LRT 5 is Northrail Phase 3 - caloocan to Fort Bonifacio via viaduct and underground subway system.

sir WoS

anu po un? ung buong length ng lrt 5 will be underground?

or parts lang...?

sir WoS

Part lang especially after EDSA. Will portions that will cross the EDSA and in the feasibility, underground sya until Fort Bonifacio and to NAIA...

From Caloocan to Shaw, di pa confirm if dadaan sa Balintawak going to C3 and to Shaw or via above the PNR railway from Caloocan to Sta. Mesa going right to Shaw....

It shows kasi mas feasible yung dadaan sa C3, (ngayon) kasi Connector Expressway will take the PNR right of way...

for my opinion lang eto ha..

mas the best talga ilagay ang station near philcoa rather than placing it below qc memorial circle.. para accessible sa marami... accessible dn ito sa bus at jeep and more convenient wla ng lakad lakad pa.. think about it naman. iba ang pinoy sa mga singaporian at hongkong people..don't compare.. Kung sila sanay sa lakaran ,sa atin hindi. gets? di pa ba kayo nagsawa sa mahabang lakaran from lrt 2 to lrt1 or the lrt 2 to mrt3?.. isipin naman natin ang best way for intermodal ung tipong pagakyat mo galing station may bus stop na ..

yan ang dapat gawin....lrt5 subway system....sign yan ng pagunlad...halos lahat ng gumaganda ang economy na bansa meron ng subway....malaysia at thailand...meron na rin....

is the northrail dmu din? nagbubuga rin ba ng usok ang mga dmu? if so, then magiging mausok pag subway ito

hmmm.... Modern na rin naman yung mga design ng DMU. Even Diesel Locomotives of KTM parked and get passengers inside the underground KL Station.

^ i think kaya nila yun inilagay sa gitna (QMC) para nga mas accessible sa mas nakararami, hindi lang sa philcoa kundi pati na rin sa lahat ng sides ng QMC, who knows baka may plan din silang lagyan ng bus bay or jeepney stops malapit dito sa proposed station na ito,:)

Either that or the bus and jeepney stops have to be transferred to the station, which will affect businesses in Philcoa. But if you're gonna make us walk, at least make walking for us convenient and comfortable.

Yeah! I was thinking that. I read somewhere that Vienna U-Bahn is donating some of its old trains to the MRT. Also, the really need wider trains, that's why not everyone can fit and may need to wait for 2 or 3 trains more before boarding.

one reason kung bakit ndi aq masyado sumasakay ng trains espcially when going to school...

ndi kc disiplinado ang mga tao na sumasakay dun...

sa ibang train system sa ibang bansa before ka pumasok kelangan nakalabas na muna lahat ng taong baba sa station na un..

eh d2 Jusko! swerte k nlng qng makakababa ka sa bababaan mong station....

It's just weird that the security imposes "No photography is allowed at the MRT/LRT" but by the looks of this, anyone can just take pictures (like me, haha!) of the public transport system...much like the "magic stick" used upon inspecting the bags of the passengers.

Is this paranoia or is this useless for a security measure to impose such?

Not quite. Officially, the LRTA will tell you it's all because of the Rizal Day bombings, and occasionally, they will also say that camera flashes blind the train drivers. They will give exceptions only to those who are members of the press. If you want to legally take pictures, you have to go to the LRTA offices in Pasay and present a letter requesting permission to take pictures.

They have a notice posted in one of the columns in Pureza station, and ironically, I took a picture of the sign. It's the only place in the entire LRT network where there is signage explicitly stating that photography (and videography) is not allowed.

hehe.. stealth tyo kumuha eh.. tska for good reason and public awareness naman gngawa natin. and its free of service, hndi tyo media.. pero atleast tyo hndi puro negative ang pinopost sa public

sana pag natapos nila ang lrt north extension ,ayusin nla ang drainage ng portion ng edsa na yan, im sure some of the drainages nabarado dahil sa construction ng lrt 1 extension :nuts:

Nagtataka na talaga ako kasi tapos na lahat ng beams dito sa Caloocan pero wala pa ring nagaganap na station construction. Although may nakita ako sa Bagong Barrio kanina sa may lugar ng dating island sa EDSA may nagaganap na paghaharang at pagbabakbak ng semento. Ito na kaya iyon?

Hopefully matuloy na talaga ang Bagong Barrio station. Ewan ko na lang talaga kung hindi nai-update ang mga project engineers natin dito kung magkagayon.

^^ perhaps tinatapos na lang muna lahat ng beams sa buong line? then isusunod na yung stations...

MRT 3 kasi ay halos at-grade ang linya pati mga station niya na elevated, sakop pati buong ground level katulad ng North Ave, Quezon Ave, Kamuning, santolan, Ortigas and guadalupe, magallanes, kaya parang ground level na rin puro pader nalang ng MRT3 ang nakikita. Hindi tulad ng MRT2 at LRT1 poste lang ang nasa ibaba ng station.

Yes ganoon nga ang plano. Tapusin muna ang mga beams before the stations pero hindi muna nila tinayuan ang mga stations. Sa Caloocan lahat na ng beams nakatayo pero wala namang naiwan na space for a station at walang nagaganap na paghuhukay sa supposedly place ng Bagong Barrio Station. Are we fooled?

^^Hindi siguro tatayuan ng station ang Bagong Barrio, dahil report ng LRTA noon, wala silang budget at madedelay ang completion ng extention. They asked PMS intervention to resolve and request for clearance from caloocan last january

Sabi ni PGMA hindi ba OK na? Si Mayor pa nagsabi kaya nga natuloy ang construction dito dahil na-issue na yung construction permit when they got what they wish... anyway, either they build it with the existing infrastructures or not build at all (and risk another rally). Basta ako, if they don't build it, I'll move out here dahil useless pala ang LRT extension. Jeep pa rin pala.

But anyway, the engineers know more... maybe they are up to something. Minsan nga lamang ang mga engineers na nakakausap ko wala talagang alam sa plano ng LRT. May narinig pa nga akong dalawang station lang ang itatayo (Balintawak and Roosevelt). Gusto ko talagang makausap ang project engineer dito.

pababa ng MRt depot..hehe

^^ You know, at the rapid rate of erecting these pylons, I can't help but get this nagging feeling that they're sacrificing structural quality just to get the project over and done with. I hope I am wrong in assuming that.

^^I am with you on that opinion but, maybe the engineers have already made that thinking before they do it, whatever happens they are still there to answer for,

the foundations on the other hand took a while before they erected pylons above those foundations, I already have seen the GI sheets covering (used to contain the foundations underground) they used became rusted before these pylons were erected,

Ako lang ba ito o bat parang mas maluwag at maalinsangan ang pakiramdam ko sa North EDSA kung ikukumpara mo ito sa EDSA na may MRT?

naku hintayin mo na lang yung Grand Central Terminal sa North Avenue para mas lalo kang makaramdam ng alinsangan, nakupo,:lol:

^^ perhaps tinatapos na lang muna lahat ng beams sa buong line? then isusunod na yung stations...

hindi nila puwedeng unahin yung beams bago magdrill para sa isang station, napakatataas kasi ng mga heavy equipment na ginagamit pambutas, at hindi makakagalaw kapag may beam na,

They are constructing just 5.71 kms with 3-4 additional stations in a span of at least 14 months (Oct-Nov 08 to Dec 09 while 10 of the 13 EDSA MRT stations (more or less 12.5 of 16.9 kms) were completed in 27 months (Sept 97 to Dec 99).

Yes, it's been 6 months so it might seems A BIT fast but not VERY VERY.

Despite of these new infrastructure developments all around the GMA, some areas are still untouchables, especially those poor people who lives under that bridge:

Yung ganiyang design ng poste, marami akong nakikitang ganyan sa may Biglang Awa rito sa Bagong Barrio, if those piers are designs of a station, then Bagong Barrio is maybe delayed or talagang yung demolished na building doon malapit sa may tindahan ng kotse sa Biglang Awa ay ginagawa nang station. (anyway bakit nga ba sila magkakalat sa sidewalk kung may space naman na un-obtrusive sa mga pedistrian?)

If the stations are independent in the viaduct (unlike LRT-1 na lumalapad ang mga pierheads pagdating sa mga stations) then there is nothing to worry about except kung paanong design nga ang gagawin nila.

hanapin mo yung part ng pylons na wala pang beam at binubutasan sa pagitan ng mga pylons na ito, kasi may mga bakal na mas maliit ang diameter na inilalagay nila doon bilang pundasyon sa mga istasyon, pero kung wala talagang binutasan at pinaglalagyan na ng mga beams ang mga pylons/pierheads na ito, siguro kagaya nga ng sapantaha ni @kratos1211 dun ka na mag-isip-isip na mukhang wala nga talaga,:ohno:

The Greater Manila Mass Transport System (GMMTS)

Executive Order 179 issued on February 10 provides for the establishment of the GMMTS to be composed of four interim intermodal mass transport terminals in four different areas in Metro Manila of which the proponent and the implementing agency is the Metro Manila Development Authority of Chair Bayani Fernando.

One of terminals will be established on Edsa, on its northbound portion between North and East Avenues, eating up a portion of the MSBFI Environmental Center, specifically on its Edsa side, as the North Terminal, according to the plans, requires the use of a 24-meter depth frontage area.

Hmmm...

Why do they charge extra for using the Kit Kat card both for reloading the card itself (e.g. you load P50, you actually get less than P50) and for fare?

Almost every other country I know in fact gives discounts for using this similar technology.

Because it's third-party.

Biglang awa has no beams yet hanggang Bagong Barrio, wala pa rin silang pierheads kaya I'll take a look in the next few days or weeks baka magkaroon ng hukayan...

Because it's third-party.

So as Octopus Card and ezLink

The owners of Octopus and EZ-Link are both connected to their respective government agencies. The MRT's third-party payment providers aren't connected to the DOTC or MRTC.

just like you pinakikiramdaman ko rin kung ano kayang plano nila dito, pero parang hindi kagaya sa Guadalupe style na archbridge dahil ordinaryong size lang ang pier na itinayo sa magkabilang dulo ng interchange, hindi ba dapat mas malaki dahil may kabigatan ang mga ng bakal ng archbridge, I was thinking na baka magbutas sila sa gitna ng tulay which can be possible dahil hindi naman tubig ang nasa ilalim nito kagaya ng sa Guadalupe Bridge,:)

GMA leads rites at North EDSA Road-Rail terminals
Article from:Manila Bulletin
Article date:October 24, 2004
Byline: CHITO A. CHAVEZ

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo yesterday led the groundbreaking ceremony and laying of time capsule of the North EDSA Road-Rail Terminals near the project site at the MRT-3 Depot in North Avenue, Quezon City.

The North EDSA Road-Rail Terminals, or the intermodal terminal, is expected to be operational next month to ease traffic congestion in Metro Manila and ensure the convenient and efficient travel of commuters, said the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

The project is a component of the Greater Metro Manila Transport System (GMMTS) that MMDA launched last year in its effort to decongest major thoroughfares of the Metro.


Also, what's the use of the name EDSA North Road-Rail Terminals and the word "intermodal", right?

Octopus Holdings Ltd. is joint venture of the transport systems it serves, while EZ-Link Pte. Ltd is a subsidiary of Singapore's Land Transport Authority. The MRT's third-party payment providers aren't connected to the DOTC or MRTC, which is why they need profit.

The DOTC has to think about this idea of having this "single contactless ticket." The only The friction cost by costs can make it inconvenient, especially as a minimum maintaning balance is required. Most other systems are moving towards this like LA's MTA and Amsterdam's GVB where the latter is moving towards phasing-out the paper strippenkaart with a contactless card. Tayo na lang ang naiiwan. I mean if the DOTC subsidises this, it will be helpful for them as traffic flow can be continuous.

Moreover, and a little off topic, should the DOTC do this, they should extend the contactless ticket concept to the buses. If that is the case, do you see any disadvantage in favour of any party?

Operative word: PORTION. The article vaguely stated between North and East Avenues so we really can't know for sure since it didn't really materialize in the manner it was planned. :)

Also, with the entire stretch of EDSA in Cubao, Tuazon and near East and Timog avenues (both directions) filled with different bus companies' stations hindi impossible na umabot sa EDSA-Mindanao Avenue Extension. Isip isip ng konti...

One of terminals will be established on Edsa, on its northbound portion between North and East Avenues, eating up a portion of the MSBFI Environmental Center, specifically on its Edsa side, as the North Terminal, according to the plans, requires the use of a 24-meter depth frontage area.

sabi mo kasi kanina portion tapos abot pala ng mindanao ave.:ohno:, binanggit ko lang naman ang clippings mo which is a portion of MSBFI, which is not vague dahil MSBFI ay malapit sa corner EDSA-Q Av., anyway we're both from QC at pareho nating alam na gagawing QC CBD ang buong East at North Ave.-EDSA triangle, :):nocrook:

READ. Pwede siyang umabot sa Mindanao Avenue extension at lumagpas pa dahil based sa article.. "Between North Avenue and East Avenue"

READ. Eating a portion of Manila Seedling na nasa EDSA-Quezon Avenue but again... the article included Lucio Tan's property on the other EDSA-Quezon Avenue side hanggang East Avenue?

If that doesn't sound vague to you, ewan ko na lang... :ohno:

yup, between North and East Avenues, eating up a portion of the MSBFI Environmental Center, specifically on its Edsa side,:)

yung North EDSA Road-Rail Terminals ang alam ko yun na yung nasa tabi ng Trinoma na bus at jeepney stops,:):nocrook:

The DOTC has to think about this idea of having this "single contactless ticket."

Actually they already did back in 2003 (http://www.lrta.gov.ph/news/news_item_121003_SmartCardsForCommuters.htm), and was even supposed to be ready by 2004. (http://www.lrta.gov.ph/news/news_item_020204_SinglePassRailTicketMayBeRead.htm)

However, the idea was dropped (http://web.archive.org/web/20070313181121/http://www.neda.gov.ph/odamon/ProjectProfile.asp?ProjectId=1061), and why it got dropped remains a mystery.



Moreover, and a little off topic, should the DOTC do this, they should extend the contactless ticket concept to the buses. If that is the case, do you see any disadvantage in favour of any party?

Ideally there is no disadvantage to that. Except for the current bus companies and operators.

Are they looking for some new trains yet to be used for the extended MRT/LRT lines?

I've seen some cool looking modern LRT trains made by Bombardier from US, China, SK, Malaysia, and Canada:

ENT ata iyon eh kasi MRT Line 3 extension tapos 5.2 km lang...

^^Yeah. Yun extension nga, when it was still planned as a separate line.

Anyway, the gov't still pays a very high price for that junk. Remember, the gov't is not only going to pay for that railway alone, it is also paying subsidies and maintenance bec of gov't guarantees, which cost approximately, $4M monthly, until the gov't bought the majority stake or MRT, but there's no news about it yet.

Aside from that, the new extension is Php6.5B which roughly translates to $135,416,666.67 ($1=Php48) or $26,041,666.67 per km ($135M/5.2km).

Well, I would blame the Fil-Estate group(MRTC's biggest stakeholder) for down-scaling Boy Tabako's plan for the MRT. The grand stations(mini mall w/in stations and having their own car parks) and the extension to Monumento, hindi nila ginawa. And nilagyan pa nila ng at-grade prtions ang MRT. If only the LRTA constructed MRT, baka nasundan pa plano ni Boy Tabako at nagawan pa ng paraan yung rolling terrain ng EDSA, tulad ng ginagawa nila ngayon sa LRT 1 North Extension.

Same situation exists with MRT7 , same proponent runs it. Eli Levin.

now this has to go under probe. sobrang mahal nyan. ginto ba ang riles na gagamitin nila?

^^ just an insight. In jakarta, the cost is $1.2B for the 14.5 kms. their first MRT. So, it's $82.76 Million per km.

MRT project to face challenge in tunnel construction
Triwik Kurniasari , THE JAKARTA POST , JAKARTA | Fri, 04/03/2009 9:14 AM | City

The Japanese government - through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) - is funding the MRT project with a 120 billion yen (US$1.2 billion) loan. Acting as the MRT project adviser, JICA will also evaluate the project’s cost to make sure the funds are sufficient.

JICA said it would fund 85 percent of the project, with the state and city financing the rest.

On Tuesday, the central government secured a second loan package from the Japanese government worth 48.15 billion yen.

On March 25, Governor Fauzi Bowo signed an agreement with the government for a 758 million yen grant, which was part of the 1.87 billion yen loan from JICA.

Fauzi said 567 million yen of the grant would be spent on management consulting services, while the rest would be transferred to MRTJ as a capital injection for more consulting services.

The Transportation Ministry is due to start working on the basic engineering design in April this year and is expected to complete the design in early 2010.

The procurement process will most likely start in a couple of months and finish at the end of 2010, with the construction of the actual MRT planned for as early as 2011.

The 14.5-kilometer MRT route - linking Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta to Dukuh Atas in Central Jakarta — should be up and running early 2016.

The route will start from Lebak Bulus and pass through Jl. Fatmawati, Jl. Cipete Raya, Jl. Haji Nawi, Blok M, Jl. Sisingamangaraja, Senayan, Istora and Bendungan Hilir, and end at Dukuh Atas.

About 10.5 kilometers of the route will be overground, while the rest will be underground.

The MRT is expected to carry up to 340,000 passengers per day and take 28 minutes from start to finish. The MRT will connect with other transportation services such as TransJakarta bus.

“If the MRT is ready, Transjakarta bus serving Blok M – Dukuh Atas can stop running because the MRT will offer faster commuting times,” said Eddi.

i hate trains with so many advertisements on it's body..lol..

When you're used to seeing ads, sometimes they just don't even register anymore.

Yes, it's been 6 months so it might seems A BIT fast but not VERY VERY.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be too good to be true.

Photo recap from previous thread....

Are they looking for some new trains yet to be used for the extended MRT/LRT lines?

I've seen some cool looking modern LRT trains made by Bombardier from US, China, SK, Malaysia, and Canada:

Is Bagong Barrio Station coming?

Still unknown pero just like the other stations, parang they are really heading for a station here... mayroon kasing finished pierheads dito pero wala pa ring beams... I think they are just reserving space yet dahil baka ginagamit ang lahat ng pile-borers?

lets hope meron itayong station, para naman ung mga galing ng balintawak going to taft via monumento eh sa bagong barrio na sila sumakay to avoid crowding sa monumento station.. ung balintawak station kasi ilalagay sa may lampas cloverleaf heading to SM north infront of nissan. ung munoz naman infront of waltermart and beside the iglesia ni kristo

everyday when every four beams are added to each set of pierheads the chance of building a station in Bagong Barrio is getting slimmer,:ohno:

Balintawak Station would be of course used by the people coming from NLEX and also the people on the other side of Balintawak Market, walking distance lang naman kasi yun, at hindi na kailangan pang magpunta pa ng mga Balintawak residents sa Monumento going Baclaran,

maybe this could be one reason why the authorities were discouraged to pursue the LRT-4 passing España St., Manila (during a heavy downpour),


NY Subway during a heavy downpour:

Before they could get to Balintawak Station, they would be stuck in the traffic in Balintawak market.

However, I noticed FB that they have stopped putting any beams here in Monumento kahit tapos na ang mga pierheads but other things continue. Hopefully they are up to something... of course except STOP!!!

matatapos din yan on schedule

i agree... palagay ko nga eh mas maraming tao sa balintawak market kesa blumentritt... kaya kung magco-commute papuntang balintawak station, malamang ma-stuck ka muna sa traffic bago makarating sa station...

progress has been impressive.

Can someone please confirm how many of the 3G series does the LRT1 system have?

Thanks

Hi Brad,

According to the LRTA website its 12 units 4-car trains.

PressRelease

3rd Generation LRV Mock Up on Display

Ref.: Nixon Bermudez

Tel. No.: +63 (2) 854-0452

March 9, 2006




A full scale mock up of the 3rd generation Light Rail Vehicle (LRV), is now on display at the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) depot in Pasay City. The LRTA is expecting a fleet of twelve (12) brand new, four car trains to arrive sometime in the third quarter of this year.

The fleet of 48 coaches will augment the present fleet when the ongoing Line 1 Capacity Expansion Project Phase II - Package A (CAPEX-IIA) is completed.

These 3rd generation trains will feature a lot of new safety features and will be more PWD (Passenger with Disability) friendly. Non skid rubber mattings, tie down points for passengers on wheelchair and strategically placed fire extinguishers are some of the features of these new trains. Train operators will likewise be treated to better ergonomically designed seats to reduced fatigue.

The new coaches will be fully air conditioned and will boost the current capacity of the Light Rail Transit Authority from the present 27,000 passengers per hour per direction (pphpd) to almost 40,000 pphpd.



As part of the design process, this vehicle mock up was constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of the vehicle interior and its layout and to demonstrate the vehicle concept in real terms. It was made to full-scale model of the three major sections of the vehicle resulting to a useable vehicle display units showing the true attributes of the 3rd generation vehicle representing 54% (14m of 26m) of the vehicle length (see diagram below). With the driver's cab being equipped with full production components, the mockup is also envisioned to be used as a training simulator at a later time.

ADMINISTRATOR MEL ROBLES, Engineer Evangeline Razon, DBM Undersecretary Luis Liwanag, II, Rolling Stock Consultant Porfirio Nabos and Project Manager for the Manila Tren Consortium Mazayuki Hasegawa recently went on an inspection tour in Osaka, Japan.

Hi Brad,

According to the LRTA website its 12 units 4-car trains..

I have been given a photo of a 1228.
Unless each of the four cars in each set has a number, thus they are 1201 to 1248.
Does this sound right?

I have been adding the LRT/MRT systems to the Philippine Fleetlist website. Should anyone be interested you can find it via the link in my signature below.

Those very last picture posted by Kaelthas18 about MRT looks absolutely nice. Very modern looking and clean.

Before they could get to Balintawak Station, they would be stuck in the traffic in Balintawak market.

However, I noticed FB that they have stopped putting any beams here in Monumento kahit tapos na ang mga pierheads but other things continue. Hopefully they are up to something... of course except STOP!!!

i agree... palagay ko nga eh mas maraming tao sa balintawak market kesa blumentritt... kaya kung magco-commute papuntang balintawak station, malamang ma-stuck ka muna sa traffic bago makarating sa station...

yes, and siguro kung hindi matao sa Balintawak area eh hindi na sila gagawa ng istasyon dito, the LRTA are looking for a place with a higher density location of people, a crossing especially, like the one in Muñoz and EDSA-North Ave.:) but I disagree with Balintawak more than Blumentritt, kasi sa Blumentritt buong kalsada ay nasasakop na ng mga tao, kitang kita ito kapag dumadaan ang LRT sa Blumentritt, samantalang sa Balintawak ay sa gilid lang ng palengke, at hindi nasasakop ang EDSA,

^^ well, i've never been to Balintawak for a long time... i guess you're right... people in Blumentritt do often occupy the road, thus causing traffic...

kaya nga pag nagco-commute ako nang umaga at dumadaan sa Blumentritt yung jeep, halos 5 minuto kaming stuck sa ilalim ng station... :ohno::ohno:

Mas malapad naman ang EDSA compared sa Rizal Avenue. Tsaka kung masakop man ang buong EDSA. Lagot sila kay Chairman BF. :lol:

We'll be waiting, wala kasing trabaho ngayong May 1... for now, let's just hope that they are really going to build a station... or else bagong rally na naman iyan.

Ayoko minsang maniwala sa mga workers sa construction site kasi they say there are only 2 stations. Anong gagawin mo sa mga tren pagdating sa North Avenue? Ibibitin sa ere?

^^ :lol::lol:

anong stations lang ba sabi nilang itatayo?

I would admit that before, most of EDSA in Balintawak Market was really occupied by the market-goers and vendors but when the sidewalk clearing operation groups (SCOG) came into the scene, talagang ang laki ng ipinagbago, pati ang mga double parking at mga pumaparada ng wala sa lugar eh sinisita agad ng mga guards ng palengke,:)

sa SM North talagang natigil din ang trabaho, baka hindi pa nila ito gawin kaagad, may mga hindi pa nga nalagyan ng mga piers ang pundasyon dito, baka isabay na sa paggawa ng Grand Central Terminal pending the decision kung mag-aambag ba ang SM North sa magagastos sa pagpapatayo ng Terminal na ito,:)

By default it is connected to LRT1. But will it be connect also to MRT3? Or will it be connect to MRT3 via the grand central terminal?

Nothing is final yet regarding the Grand Central terminal. As for real seamless connectivity to MRT3, thanks to the difference in administration, it won't happen.

Sabi nila hindi ba sa may General Malvar ang Bagong Barrio station. If they really intend not to build a station there, sana nilagyan na nila ito ng mga beams... kaso hanggang ngayon, wala pa rin itong beams unlike yung mga katabi nito sa magkabilang dulo... tuyo na nga yung mga semento roon e...

The only thing that scratches my head is the fact na walang nagaganap na paghuhukay dito...

Thanks a lot hon... han pala ... he he:lol:

:lol: :jk: :nocrook:

ang design ba ng RILES ng mrt at lrt extension dito ay magdudugtong ba??

Bakit parang mababa yung pylon sa may sm city. doon ba yung grand station?

We'll be waiting, wala kasing trabaho ngayong May 1... for now, let's just hope that they are really going to build a station... or else bagong rally na naman iyan.

Ayoko minsang maniwala sa mga workers sa construction site kasi they say there are only 2 stations. Anong gagawin mo sa mga tren pagdating sa North Avenue? Ibibitin sa ere?

^^Hindi naman.. Gagawa sila ng mahabang slide. Doon mag dadausdos ang mga pasahero... :banana:

Actually if you haven't noticed MMDA already assigned names for every footbridges in the metro, it is posted on the side of these footbridges, if you just look up at them while driving or commuting, no need to walk to each like this one,

Nagupdate na ang LRT ng kanilang website about LRT South Extention. Nawala na ang target date of construction na September.

^^Mukhang lumiliit ang chance na masimulan yang south extension.

Nagupdate na ang LRT ng kanilang website about LRT South Extention. Nawala na ang target date of construction na September.

Sure on-going na ito. Nadedelay lang sa pag acquire ng right of way. The latest update is that meron na silang 35-40% acquired row. Yung latest, sa website hindi pa updated.

^^Sabagay malapad ang EDSA kaya walang problema sa ROW. Yung mga stations lang siguro nagkaka problema sa ROW. Kaya siguro di pa nasisimula mga stations.. hehehe...

^^Sabagay malapad ang EDSA kaya walang problema sa ROW. Yung mga stations lang siguro nagkaka problema sa ROW. Kaya siguro di pa nasisimula mga stations.. hehehe...

Iba kasi ang elevations ng EDSA that's why ganun yung design ng MRT.

^^Pero bakit sa LRT2 di naman na delayed? Kahit masikip mga ROW nya.

Pwede bang gawing underground yung Taft MRT station tapos iextend up to MOA?

It's possible, but it will require a lot of $$$$ for the difficulties involved.

^^
ANG tlgang design ng taft mrt station eh elevated tlga parang mga nasa quezon ave.. kaya lang nagkataon noon na tinayo ung tramo flyover kaya naging on grade ang station

pwde nila iredesign ung Taft MRT para maging tulad ng Buendia MRT.. nasa ilalim ng lupa ung tracks tpos sa taas ung concourse .. bababa ung elevation ng tracks before mag flyover.. tutal on grade naman by the time it reaches taft avenue portion nasa underground na sya parang sa ayala..

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/7574/vfdfe5.jpg

^^ Natatandaan ko mas nauna pang nagkaroon ng MRT Taft Avenue Station kesa Tramo flyover. Kaya nga ginawa yung flyover na yun dahil sa pagka at-grade ng MRT. Haay naku ang Fil-Estate talaga..

ah ganun ba? kasi may naka abang na re-bars sa gilid ng fence ng mrt eh..

btw bakit nga ba nila naisip na on grade ang mga ibang portion? para ba makatipid?para kasing aksaya sa space eh.. 1 lane each din kasi kinakain sa edsa pag on grade tpos hindi naman exactly on grade, naka retaining wall lang.. para kang may Great wall OF EDSA...tska parang roller coaster sya pag sumakay ka .. lalo na sa curve ng santolan-ortigas.. titilapon ka pag di ka humawak..

from north ave station nka elevate up to q.ave station.. Tpos mag rretaining wall ng kaunti up to Kamuning station tpos elevate konti then retaing wall then elevated ulit up to cubao.. tpos elevated up to santolan and then on grade up to corinthian then it starts to elevate again..hayy.. parang wlang alam sa railway design and planning ung gmawa ng mrt...kainis.. pati mga stations hndi napagaralan and also the footbridges..etc..

yung mga concrete bars(lalagyan ng rails) na nakalagay sa harap ni RR sa qc may kinakabit na parang support metals (color red) na sa gilid nung dumaan ako ng April 30 ng gabi... anong tawag dun? parang support sa gilid nung rail , like nung sa LRT 2... sorry dont know the terms di ako engg eh :)

^ i've read stanleymalls and kaelthas call it the trusses, i dunno pero mukhang temporary supports lang mga ito (at baka alisin din after matuyo ang semento), ginagawa yata nila ang kagaya ng sa MRT-3 sidewalks,

^^Yup... Tama.. Mas na unang i-construct ang MRT kaysa doon sa flyover. Parang doon sa flyover na papuntang Estrella. I think yung nakikita mong rebars sa gilid ng MRT ay para sa flyover yon. Kung mapapansin mo sa kabilang side ng MRT walang rebars na nakakabit. Mukhang binago lang ang design nung flyover at nilayo ng kaunti. Siguro kaya nila ginawang at grade sa mga areas na yan kasi madami ang pasaway na jaywalkers dyan. Lalu na sa parte na yan ng Pasay. Kahit lagyan mo ng fence sinisira at hinahakbangan. Tignan na lang natin kung kaya nilang kahbangan ang MRT. :lol:

BTW, napapansin mo ba pag papuntang Ayala station ka(Taft Bound) bago dumating sa station may tunnel pa na papunta sa kanan. Anu yon Ayala Avenue subway?

^^ Dati ko na rin pinag-iisipan kung ano yun!!! Ang weird nga. Unless supposedly may branch ang MRT papasok ng Makati CBD :lol:

It's been discussed here long ago, but yes, it was supposed to be a subway.

^^ Ow! Ok. Long ago nga. Di ko nasalo yung balitang yun ah. Pero sayang pala no? Astig nun kapag nagkataon. :D

they're already acquiring right of way? eh di malapit nang simulan yan?...

Sosyal pala ang mga taga-Bagong Barrio sa station people... parang Monumento station yung design ng mga hagdanan kasi mukhang yung nagaganap na construction sa may side ng EDSA malapit sa General Tirona ay naroon ang Bagong Barrio station... at least malawak ang space for the new station. Hindi na nga talaga nila kailangan pang maghukay sa sidewalk kasi may space na sila na hindi tatamaan ang sidewalk. Ayos!

^^ sa Gen. Tirona ba itatayo yung Bagong Barrio station? ang lawak nun! sabi ko na nga ba dun itatayo eh... :banana::banana:

malawak yung parteng yun ng EDSA, dun sa Monumento-bound side...

teka, panu mo nalaman yung desgin ng hagdan? ginagawa na ba yung station?

^^Pictures naman dyan nung construction site.. :D

general tirona? gaano yan kalayo sa general malvar st. I thought its general malvar ang bagong barrio station.

^^What happened to that plan? Can you show us the link to that discussion?

Thanks...

I wish I could, but it would be a big pain to dig through the 400+ pages in the LRT/MRT thread archive. But if I remember right, it probably has something to do with the Fort Bonifaico/NAIA Northrail subway plan.

^^ sa Gen. Tirona ba itatayo yung Bagong Barrio station? ang lawak nun! sabi ko na nga ba dun itatayo eh... :banana::banana:

Kasi the way they built the covers parang ganoon ang mangyayari... pero baka maging iba ang design but the way the things are going now baka doon na nga nila itatayo iyon kasi nalagyan na ng beams ang Gen. Malvar. The only problem is tanging Monumento-bound lamang nagkaroon ng paghuhukay... other than that, wala na... hindi baleng one-sided basta mapapakinabangan parang sa Recto Station sa LRT-2 (anyway may footbridge naman doon)

Hindi exactly sa General Tirona, malapit siya sa may kanto ng Gen. Evangelista.

Remember: Hindi matutuloy ang construction ng LRT-1 Extension sa Caloocan kung hindi sila pumayag sa Bagong Barrio Station. Mismong si Robles pa ang nagsabi na pumayag na si PGMA riyan at binilisan pa ang pagi-issue ng construction permit para sa Bagong Barrio station.

OT: kayo poh gumawa nyan?

By Ma. Elisa P. Osorio
Updated May 04, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - The government is looking at building one grand central station in the North to make it more convenient for commuters to use the Light Rail Transit (LRT) and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), one of the contractors of the project said.

In an interview President and COO of Lopez led First Balfour Anthony L. Fernandez said that the government approved changes in the plan last March. The change may mean a delay in the opening of the extension project which was slated for May 2010.

Initially, the LRT extension will be located at the Trinoma Mall. However, Fernandez said the government wanted to make it easy for train users by making one station that will not require commuters to leave the station when they transfer trains.

Fernandez said this will be the first station in the country that will interconnect different train lines.

The grand central station will be located near SM North Edsa because there are more people there.

“The initial plan is to connect the train in Trinoma but there have been changes. Now it is only one station and the people will not be required to leave the station anymore,” Fernandez told reporters.

Because of this, Fernandez said there will be changes in their plans including a slight extension of the MRT 3.

“It is a good concept,” Fernandez said. Although, he said it would have been better if the government decided on the idea before construction began. Likewise, he said there must be leeway for the project and that the government must allow the contractors extension in the time frame.

Last year, the Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) announced that the joint venture of D.M. Consunji and First Balfour won the contract for the construction of a mass rail transit that will run from Monumento in Caloocan City to North Avenue in Quezon City

Costing about P6.4 billion, the project involves the construction, including the detailed design of a 5.71-kilometer elevated line from Monumento station of LRT Line 1 to North Avenue of Metro Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3), two new intermediate stations (Balintawak and Roosevelt) and a terminal station (Line 1 North Avenue station).

^^ what the?? ngayon(MARCH) lang nila na-isip ang MRT3 extension?!?!:ohno:

delay is indeed possible...:bash:

^^Bat di yata na mention ang Bagong Bario Station?

Oh I see. Kaya pala. I forgot na holiday last Friday. Kaya pala super luwag, konti lang ang nakatayo (at nakaupo pa ako). I expected worse. Buti nalang at holiday. :lol:

Ayala Station to Shaw Station (and vice versa) 'yung nitry namin. Nu'ng patungo kaming Shaw, ako lang ang nakaupo, nakatayo ang pamilya ko. Nu'ng pabalik naman kami ng Ayala, nakatayo na kaming lahat at muntik na akong matumba nu'ng tumakbo na siya. :rofl:
