'A high-speed, high-capacity thoroughfare, C-5 carries traffic at relatively long distances with few fixed points of discharge.'
The variety of masterplanned communities to choose from along C-5 can also result in a diversified user experience throughout the corridor. For example, Megaworld’s Arcovia City is ideal for those seeking a European-inspired township living experience, whereas Ayala Land and Eton Properties’ Parklinks seeks to complete the missing piece of the C-5 corridor with abundant patches of open and green spaces.
Anticipating an increase in the number of inhabitants and commuters prompted the development of more radical transit alternatives, one of which is the Pasig River Ferry, which began operations in 2019. Additionally, a spanning railway project is in the works, with the Department of Transportation proposing the addition of 16 MRT stations along these masterplanned neighborhoods. The program is creating a new transportation tier parallel to the Marikina River and the C5.
