Hope they are not serious when they consider it for a general population transport mode, or, even more funny, PNoy suggesting its use to rural areas.
Given the different governments and the continuing incompatable systems, I wonder if the next one will start a Maglev

It a nice addition to some SM Malls... They can even put it on StarCity..

Why not? Tokyo has high capacity monorails, why can't we?

I am definitely up for a high-capacity monorail myself, plus with high frequencies too. It will help decongest many of Manila's roads, as well as reducing pollution in the metropolis.

Planned Phase 2 of the UP Monorail..

UP Monorail: 'Ikot' jeeps of the future arrive at UP Diliman

MANILA, Philippines - The University of the Philippines Diliman campus is about to witness a major transportation upgrade really soon, an alternative to the aging "UP Ikot," iconic yellow jeepneys that ply a circular route around the UP Campus.

Through its official Facebook page, the Philippine National Railways unveiled what will soon be a fixture in the Quezon City campus: an electric-powered monorail system.

The monorail system or the Automated Guideway Transit System (AGTS) is a locally developed transportation system that could soon be the "future of mass transport systems made by Filipinos,” according to Science and Technology Secretary Mario Montejo.

The joint project between the DOST and the University of the Philippines Diliman saw the construction of a 465-meter test track that runs from CP Garcia Avenue (near the Commission on Higher Education building) to Jacinto Street along the College of Fine Arts.

The already constructed monorail tracks stand at an elevation of 6.1 meters. Two monorail cars designed with DOST and UP colors, blue and maroon arrived at the site Sunday, November 25.

If successful, the project will move onto Phase 2 which will cover a route that includes points not covered by existing jeepney systems: Philcoa (1), CP Garcia (2), Lakandula (3), Delos Reyes (4), College of Engineering (5), Science Complex (6), Katipunan(7), Vinzons Hall (8), International Center (9), Laurel (10), Commonwealth Ave (11), Commission on Human Rights (12), and UP-Ayala Technohub (13).

So ano yung route ng phase 1?

[Kintoy]

CP Garcia/University Ave to Fine Arts/Archi

[mark4051997]

I was in UP this afternoon, I saw the train running at around 4:50pm. It was about as fast as a human. Don't have pictures though.

[bulabog jalaur]

I repeat, the guiding mechanism of this AGT should be robust and with-in allowable

tolerances for ride and comfort of the passenger but should not compromise the safety.

Now that a proposed route has been revealed, just a comment: is it possible for station 1 (at UP entrance/PHILCOA) have a curved station rather than a pointed station ad described on the map? Plus next question: where will be the maintenance yard and depot for the AGTs?

[todjikid]

kung matuloy man 'tong phase 2 na to...dapat patawirin ng katipunan sa UP Ayala East Campus area sa UPIS then tawid din ng commonwealth to technohub. Yang vacant lot sa tapat ng CP Garcia, i-bid na rin yan for another technohub.

[fieldsofdreams]

Tama! Mas-marami pang opportunities ang mabubuksan kung ibi-bid ang Technohub expansion.
