Metro Manila Mass Rapid Transit System

[Manila-X]

The plan is impressive but currently, only 3 lines are active. 4 if we include The PNR Orange Line which is more a commuter rail than metro.

Yeah, take credit for what someone else had already started.

If he wants to take credit for something, maybe the decline of all the great heavy rail developments of the previous administration? Make him a nice award if he likes.

okay lang na ma-delay ng konti basta maayos ang maging patutunguhan. If the delay is two-three months, not bad na yan. kesa naman mangyari ulit yung sa MRT-3 na gumagastos ang gobyerno ng PHP7-8B yearly para lang sa obligasyon sa mga nagtayo ng mrt.

Ilang taon na pong delayed ang MRT-7

[Manila-X]

Matagal na, pati na rin yung ibang projects ng LRT / MRT.

Single Ticketing System for LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3 pushed thru PPP

PPP Center
Press Release
December 17, 2012

Passengers taking the LRT and MRT can expect better train commuting service after the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) rolls out its Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS) project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Program of the government.

The AFCS’s Invitation to Prequalify and Bid (ITPB) was issued today, making this the 6th PPP project successfully rolled out this year. The AFCS aims to implement a single ticketing system for LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3 to facilitate efficient passenger transfer to other rail lines, and reduce the long queues. The project also addresses outdated technology concerns of both MRT-3 and LRT-1 fare ticketing system, and increases the fare collection efficiency by reducing leakage and fraud.

Estimated to cost around 1.72 billion pesos, the project involves the financing and installation of the required infrastructure to accommodate the AFCS system particularly the back office; designing and constructing a system accommodating contactless smartcard technology based on international standards; and operating and maintaining the AFCS for a concession period of ten (10) years.

According to PPP Center Executive Director Cosette V. Canilao, under the current system, passengers transferring from one line to the other are required to purchase separate tickets resulting in multiple queuing times and boarding fees. This keeps our rail system from running at its fullest potential.
“An efficiently procured contactless AFCS project will bring important benefits to the over 1 million passengers who use the metro rail system daily,” she added.

As the project’s implementing agency, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), with assistance from the PPP Center, is set to conduct an investor conference on 18 December 2012. The event aims to promote the project, invite industry experts, and provide more information to interested private sector partners and potential bidders.

The AFCS project is a recipient of the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) fund support managed by the PPP Center. Through this revolving fund, internationally renowned firm, Rebel Group International BV, was contracted to provide transaction advisory and bids management services to ensure that the project is well-prepared and highly viable for private sector participation.

sali na sa bidding!

Question, is this proposed card system similar to the Ez-link card system in Singapore, where you just tap the card on the sensor? Can this card be topped up?

Yung NEP ready na.

I cannot answer this question in the case of Manila as I do not live in Manila.

However, most systems do accept contactless card, which is fairly similar in technology and its purposes such as the EZ-Link (Singapore) or the Touch n Go (Kuala Lumpur).

Rightfully, the proposed new system for your city, should be very similar to these examples in my city (KL), in Singapore or Hong Kong. They are pretty standard

The contactless fare collection system should be implemented right away. I rode MRT last Tuesday from a not so crowded station (Boni Station, Mandaluyong) during a non-rush hour period (1030AM), and it took almost 10 minutes to purchase a ticket! As a result, I missed one train that had arrived in the station a minute earlier, and had to wait for the next one that arrived within 5 minutes (also full, but not as crowded during rush hour).

Aside from the contactless collection, they should offer NFC (near field communication) for Smartphones with wallet/passbook features.
