The ongoing study that will determine the viability of establishing the Manila Bay -Pasig River- Laguna Lake Ferry System project is expected to be completed within this year, an official of the Department of Transportation said Tuesday.At the sidelines of the Asia and the Pacific Transport in Mandaluyong City, Transportation Assistant Secretary Leonel de Velez told reporters that the DOTr is working with the Public-Private Partnership Center to put up the MAPALLAF.
So we hope to have the study within the year,” de Velez said.Once the study is complete, the Transportation official said the proposed MAPALLAF will go through a series of government approvals before it can be contracted out to a private partner.“We're looking at having this as a public-private partnership…. with that, we would have to go to the NEDA Board and all the other government agencies,” de Velez said.He said the project could be bided out to interested parties next year.
