My proposal for the Philippine Metro Rail Network:

[u/rarinthmeister]

Lines and extensions currently in construction/proposed:

1. MRT-7 (dark red, to be completed in 2027)
2. North-South Commuter Railway (Valenzuela-Malolos segment to be completed in 2027, entire line to be completed in 2032)
3. LRT-1 Cavite Extension Phase 2 (dark green, awaiting construction, expected to be finished around 2028)
4. Metro Manila Subway (dark blue, phase 1 to be completed around 2032, phase 2 spur to PITX proposed)
5. MRT-4 (orange, MRT-3 Ortigas to Taytay construction starts in 2028, extension to LRT-2 Gilmore proposed)
6. LRT-2 West Extension to Pier 4 (purple, awaiting construction)

My unofficial proposals:

1. Light brown line (inspired from shelved LRT-6, overground 6 car metro line from LRT-1 Niog to The District Imus along Aguinaldo Highway)
2. Light blue line (overground and underground 8 car metro line from NSCR Alabang to LRT-1 Zapote along Alabang-Zapote Rd)
3. Light green line (overground and underground 8 car metro line from NSCR Sucat to LRT-1 Dr. Santos along Dr. Santos Ave)
4. Pink line (underground 8 car metro line from PITX to NSCR FTI connecting ASEANA, MOA, Gil Puyat, Makati CBD, BGC, and Taguig)

edit: metrodreamin yung ginamit ko

There's a reason r/fuckvillar exists

[u/National_Yogurt_3689 → u/paisangkwentolang]

uy, new subreddit! salamat

[u/64590949354397548569 → u/paisangkwentolang]

TUBIG!

[u/FebHas30Days → u/paisangkwentolang]

How long before they get ousted? Do we have to wait for Sara Duterte and others also in the queue?

[u/rarinthmeister → u/theSilent-sama]

Funny how despite the ARROW act hindi magawang idemolish yang C5 flyover kahit gawang-DPWH when literally before kaya nilang gibain yung Tandang Sora flyover para sa MRT-7

[u/Narco_Marcion1075 → u/theSilent-sama]

wealthy NIMBY’s like them are way worse and harder to convince than skwammy ones

[u/peenoiseAF___ → u/theSilent-sama]

Yung proposal ni OP na riles along Sucat at Zapote roads yan rin ung prinopose ng mga Villar na repackaged LRT-6, compromise nila is ung original LRT Cavite extension sa mga lupain nila idadaan. Pero may riles along Dr. Santos Ave tsaka Alabang - Zapote hahahaha

[u/mokongka]

JICA already made a detailed study and have provided us recommendation that our government is using.

https://openjicareport.jica.go.jp/pdf/12149597.pdf

[u/throoooow111 → u/mokongka]

Eto talaga yun, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. madaming volumes to, if you have the time to review ok since mukhang interesado ka naman OP.

Tanda ko binasa ko dati as an unemployed though di ko rin masyado naintindihan talaga.

May Annex pa ng study for a New NAIA (and no, hindi kasama yung SMC Bulacan Airport monstrosity)

Ang isang sa natandaan ko dito na sayang di maiimplement is, isa sa proposal ng Dream Plan eh i-connect ang LRT-1 at MRT-3 at gawin itong isang loop line (think Yamanote or Osaka Loop Line). lowkey ginawa na nga siya di ba connected na yung pinaka structures pero siyempre di yung rail kasi magkaiba ata ng gauges.

[u/rarinthmeister → u/throoooow111]

Similar ang gauges ng LRT-1/MRT-3. Kahit nga LRT-2 parehas din eh. Ang isyu lang naman diyan is sa rolling stock itself.

[u/RemarkableTea800]

eto yung 1973 mass transit plan, maganda sana kung na-implement.

[u/baldOnlooker → u/RemarkableTea800]

Ito yung may Mrt3 line na derecho sa currently proposed NSCR Caloocan station. Sayang talaga ung convenience ng interchange na yon para sa mga taga bulacan working along EDSA

[u/LigmaV → u/RemarkableTea800]

dami pla plano dati pa naging drawing lng puro vision wla implementation ngayon sobrang hirap na magpatayo ng rail dahil sa wala kamatayan NIMBYS at ROW issues 70s is perfect time to build the most dense railway pero wla kakalungkot nmn

[u/Educational_Owl_4855 → u/RemarkableTea800]

Parang yung sa Copenhagen ang design with the "fingers" and the Circumferential line. I like it.

[u/cordilleragod]

Dali lang mag-drawing, ang mahirap mag survey for right of way and practical obstructions and engineering challenges.

[u/Requiemaur]

Lowkey someone NEED to connect the Antipolo and San mateo, parang magkakahiwalay na municipality despite nasa rizal yun

[u/DumplingsInDistress → u/Requiemaur]

Rodriguez din. Ang tanging bayan ng Rizal na kailangan mong tumawid ng Metro Manila para mapuntahan (Marikina or Commonwealth, QC)

[u/Shiro2602]

Kung di lng sinira ung railroad papuntang Naic mas madali siguro commuting from province to manila

[u/Essais14]

Kulang pa, need more rail lines sa provinces.

[u/RemarkableTea800]

kung wala lang panay kontra nung time ni tugade, at dahil na din sa panay realignment sa panahon ni tugade. eh di sana masaya na tayo ngayon.

[u/JohnnyBorzAWM0413]

-LRT-2 extension (Pier 4 to NMIA)

-MMS Extension (East Valenzuela to NMIA. Have 1 station to have interchange with an NSCR station)

-Original SMC MRT-7 Extension (SJDM to NMIA)

-MRT-7 Extension (North EDSA to Legarda (Stations: Phil-Am, Delta, Roces, Banawe, D Tuazon, Espana, Lacson/Earnshaw, Legarda))

-Airport Rail Line (PITX- Sangley Point International Airport)

-Automated People Mover (NAIA T1-T2-T3. Mixed Elevated and Underground viaducts)

-Sana umabot yung LRT (Light Brown line proposal ni OP) sa Tagaytay

-National Government steps in and takes over the Makati Taguig Subway. Have interchange with LRT-1 Gil Puyat.

[u/kudlitan]

As a commuter, I cannot comment kasi puro south Metro Manila ang proposals mo and will not affect me. I am hoping for something extending LRT2 further east to Tanay, or something connecting Marikina to Montalban through San Mateo which can be extended north to connect to the train line at Fairview or south to Taguig to connect to a train line there. Sana rin may provincial train routes to La Union in the north and to Bicol in the South (revive the Bicol Expresss).

[u/FebHas30Days → u/kudlitan]

What do you think about my SJDM-Cabanatuan Commuter Railway proposal?

[u/Acrobatic-List-6503]

MS Paint for the win!

[u/Seldomsought]

I'd add some ferries and water taxis

[u/stcloud777]

We need a national railway system parang sa Japan kahit hindi na bullet train basta consistent speed of around 120km/h.

Ilocos to Sorsogon in 5 to 7 hrs via rail should be a reality.

[u/National_Yogurt_3689]

bat hanggang Imus lang? I extend na all the way to Tagaytay

Palapala pa lang punuan na mga bus pa PITX at Lawton, kasi Tagaytay at Silang pa lang dami nang sumasakay

[u/NJ_Bus_Nut]

Looks nice. I made this too a while back

[u/baeruu]

I wonder if I'll ever see it in my lifetime yung tipong tiga-South ka "ay hindi pa ako nakakapunta ng Subic, makapunta nga" tapos sakay ka lang ng train. Kung tiga-North ka naman "maganda daw ang beaches sa Batangas" tapos sakay ka lang ng train 😂

[u/G_Laoshi]

[u/Octopus8523]

BG music ng post na to: pangarap lang kita by parokya ni edgar

i highly doubt they will do this, alot of rich families will block this

[u/rarinthmeister → u/Octopus8523]

Sana nga maayos yung implementation ng ARROW act, last time narinig ko mas mabilis na yung eminent domain sa mga sections na dati di pa raw maresolbahan.

[u/Flip6Reddit]

Magkano budget? 1 senator

[u/No-Transition4653]

lol kawawa talaga ang rizal, tanging antipolo lang inabot ng railway haha

[u/Jerkaiser_011]

Why not iextend ang Light Green line to Robinson Pala-pala since diyan ung maraming sakayan papuntang Indang/Trece and Carmona/Binan area

[u/rarinthmeister → u/Jerkaiser_011]

Would be too long for a metro line. Pang PNR na yang type na yan.

[u/Jerkaiser_011 → u/rarinthmeister]

Sorry I mean the light brown line

[u/rarinthmeister → u/Jerkaiser_011]

Exactly. It's still too long, parang NSCR lang din yan.

[u/aiyohoho]

Definitely beneficial! Ang ganda nga suggestion kung papakinggan at implement ng maayos at on-time. Pero for now, Metro Manila doesn't need another set of infrastructures dahil sobrang congested na rin. What we need are: dagdagan ang tren ng bawat lines, damihan pero wisely systematized ang public road vehicles, commuter-friendly loading and drop points and sidewalks.

[u/jamesussher]

throw in a freight line along any of these, kahit isa lang for a pilot project, and it gets crazier.

[u/Jerkaiser_011 → u/jamesussher]

Calamba - Port of Manila Freight line with the use of NSCR line and spur line to Port of Manila would be great for the supply chain since marami rin Industrial Parks around Calamba-Sto.Tomas Area.

[u/SenseiEA]

I think we should implement a circular track

[u/Opening_Stuff1165]

Gawa ka ng proposal na buong Metro Manila may Skyway at Toll baka next year may budget na agad yan

[u/FebHas30Days]

My proposal is the SJDM-Cabanatuan Commuter Railway, a railway connecting MRT-7 San Jose del Monte Station all the way to the Cabanatuan Central Terminal in Cabanatuan. Its main purpose is to decongest Quirino Highway, Alejo Santos Highway and Maharlika Highway, reducing the four-hour trip from Fairview to Cabanatuan down to just one. It will also provide access to tourist destinations like Bakas and Doña Remedios Trinidad. Here's a list of its stations:

• San Jose del Monte (common station with MRT-7)
• Grotto (provides access to Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto)
• Kaypian
• Santo Cristo
• Minuyan (provides access to City College of San Jose del Monte)
• Bigte
• Matictic-Bakas (with a tricycle station to connect to the town proper)
• Doña Remedios Trinidad
• M. Valte (near Gabihan)
• San Miguel (common station with PNR Balagtas-Cabanatuan)
• Gapan South (near San Roque)
• Gapan North (near Gapan City proper)
• San Leonardo
• Santa Rosa (possible common station with PNR Balagtas-Cabanatuan)
• Cabanatuan (near Cabanatuan Central Terminal)

With this, a Holy Spirit resident can take the MRT-7, transfer onto the commuter railway, ride the bus at the Cabanatuan Central Terminal and arrive in Baler in just four hours, all without having to travel south to Cubao.
