MRT-7 trains from Korea arrive next week

The first batch of new trains for the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7) from Hyundai ROTEM in South Korea will arrive next week.

Each train set consists of six cars and is approximately 65 meters long, with full delivery expected by December 2022.

Despite challenges posed by the pandemic and right-of-way issues, construction activities continue with the project currently 60.93% complete.

Partial operations for MRT-7 are scheduled to begin in April 2022, while full operations will start by the fourth quarter of 2022.
