Metro Manila Subway Project

MMSP

The Metro Manila Subway Project is a 33-kilometer underground railway system in the Philippines, connecting Valenzuela City to Pasay City with 17 stations, aimed at reducing traffic congestion and travel time in Metro Manila. Construction, delayed by right-of-way issues, has resumed with the deployment of tunnel boring machines and is expected to be fully operational by 2032. The project, co-funded by Japan, is part of the government's efforts to improve public transportation and infrastructure in the country.
