Check out the Progress of the Much-Awaited MRT-LRT Common Station
Commuting in Metro Manila has always been a challenge due to traffic and other transportation woes. Thankfully, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) is thinking of new projects that will greatly contribute to the betterment of the transportation system in the country.
One of which is the MRT-LRT Common Station. DOTr stated that the project’s Area B is presently 96% complete, in collaboration with Ayala Land Inc. (ALI).

After nine years, Secretary Arthur Tugade of DOTr, as well as DOTr officials, had an inspection of the in-progress construction of MRT-LRT Common Station located at North Edsa last December 17. The DOTr secretary wanted to examine the improvement of the project before the year ends.

The MRT-LRT Common Station features a 13,700-square meter hall area that will link LRT-1, MRT-3, MRT-7, and the Metro Manila Subway. The said station is presumed to serve an estimated number of 478,000 commuters per day once it starts operating in 2021.
Apart from that, the new space highlights the aesthetically-designed high ceilings and wide concourse area, which is extensive enough to accommodate a large number of commuters daily.
According to DOTr, Area C was awarded to San Miguel Corp, which will serve as platforms for LRT-1 and MRT-3 while the government awarded Area A to BF Corporation in which the platforms for LRT 1 and MRT 3 are located, which is scheduled to operate in 2020.
