The Department of Transportation said it is on track to complete the construction of the common station for the four rail lines in Metro Manila by December this year.

The agency said the overall progress of the P2.8-billion Common Station Project now stands at 48.48 percent, after more than seven years of delay.

Scheduled to be completed on December 2021, the Common Station features a 13,700-square meter concourse area which will seamlessly interconnect the rail lines of LRT-1, MRT-3, MRT-7, and the much-awaited Metro Manila Subway.

“This is a long overdue transport infrastructure project that would have considerably eased mobility of commuters in Metro Manila, particularly along the main transit routes, from Baclaran to Monumento to the entire length of EDSA,” the DOTr said.

“And with the forthcoming MRT-7 and the Metro Manila Subway also being part of the loop, travel to Bulacan via Commonwealth, and from Valenzuela to NAIA will be faster and more convenient,” it added.
