Public transit is a broad term that includes above-ground trains, subways, buses, trams and even ferries.
Seven of the top cities hailed for their mass transit systems are in Asia, with Singapore, Shanghai, Taipei, and Japan picking up the accolades for the continent, according to a report from CNN Travel.
The 17-km MRT Line 3 is aging and although the recent general overhaul and rehabilitation may have given it a life extension of five years, maintainability will become the primary concern. It was further emphasized that accepting the proposal would not only avoid extending the current R&M contract for MRT3, which costs P166 million a month for maintenance alone, but would also immediately eliminate the P1.38-billion annual subsidy of government to MRT3. Full operation and maintenance risk will be borne by the proponent.
What’s more important though is that integrating MRT3 and LRT1 can reduce traffic volume in EDSA by a whopping 23 percent.
