Moreover, new metro lines, such as the North-South Commuter Railway and the Metro Manila Subway, are being constructed with the help of international yen loans. However, as the population is expected to increase and spread out over a wider area in the future, with significant increase in travel demand, a new rail master plan for the Greater Capital Region (GCR, 39,508 km2), including more of the surrounding provinces, is required.
Against such a background, this project will formulate a long-term "Railway Master Plan for the GCR" for the year 2055—to be implemented at an early stage—and promote the development of the railway network in accordance with this master plan. In doing so, the project will contribute to the sustainable economic development and climate change countermeasures of the Philippines, as well as to the achievement of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Goals 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and 11 (Sustainable cities and communities).
Scope :
The provision of expert teams to the Philippines Department of Transportation and the formulation of a railway master plan, looking ahead to 2055.
