Bicam realigns P3.6B for LRT1 Cavite common station, fare system
The bicameral conference committee approved a P3.6 billion budget realignment for the LRT-1 Cavite extension's common station and the automated fare collection system.
This realignment will be funded by reducing the budgets of the Metro Manila Subway Phase 1 and the North-South Commuter Railway System by P1.8 billion each.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) requested this reallocation, citing delays in the subway and commuter railway projects.
P2 billion of the realigned funds will go to the LRT-1 Cavite Extension common station, and P1.04 billion will be allocated to the automated fare collection system.
House Committee on Appropriations chairperson Mikaela Angela Suansing noted that the DOTr Secretary himself identified these two foreign-assisted projects as the source for the realignment.
