“This part of the NSCR will carry the most number of passengers of the NSCR Project,” he said, with the rail line set to service some 350,000 passengers daily. “The remaining ADB-financed civil works contract packages will be awarded soon and will cover the Manila to Muntinlupa portion of the NSCR,” the DOTr said.
“This project will open tremendous opportunities for economic integration across Metro Manila and neighboring provinces and create a significant positive impact on the local economy,” he was quoted as saying in a separate statement.
