DoTr: Subway ‘partly’ ready by 2028
The entire Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) is targeted for completion in 2032, beyond President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s term, but the Department of Transportation (DOTr) aims to open at least two to three stations by 2028.
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated that the partial operations by 2028 are being discussed with Japanese partners.
The stations intended for partial operations by 2028 are located in Valenzuela and Quirino, with a possibility of including North Avenue station.
The Ortigas Station, identified as the subway's main right-of-way challenge, is not expected to be finished by 2028.
The 33-kilometer MMSP will connect Valenzuela City to Pasay City, including a spur line to NAIA Terminal 3, and will feature 17 stations and a depot in Valenzuela.
The Valenzuela depot will also serve as the location for the Philippine Railway Institute.
