snoop1130 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Government officials broke ground for the two main stations of the planned Metro Manila Subway Project in Pasig City on October 3, 2022. The Philippine STAR / Jesse Bustos MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine government has started construction on the Metro Manila Subway Project, starting with two of the subway’s main stations in Pasig City. This comes nearly 50 years after the 1973 Urban Transport Study was done for the Manila Metropolitan Area, which helped with planning for projects that aid transport needs of the growing population. The project will span 33.1 kilometers, running from Valenzuela City to Bicutan in Taguig, with 17 stations and a fleet of eight-car train sets that can accommodate as many as 2,242 passengers each. Trains will operate at 80 km/h, with a maximum speed of 120 km/h.
