Groundbreaking for the Metro Manila Subway Project is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2018 but partial operations will likely start as early as 2022. The proposed subway project will be a modern one, and is based on Tokyo’s subways, having features such as water-stop panels, doors, high-level entrances for flood prevention, earthquake detection and a train stop system.
Once completed, the Metro Manila Subway Project can transport commuters from Quezon City to Taguig in 31 minutes. Yes, 31 minutes of traffic-free bliss.
