There is currently only one light metro/light railline in operation but there are three heavy rail lines under construction. In recent years, there are proposals to extend the system. The system is intended to have seven lines as of 2019, with at least 49 stations across 124.4 kilometers (77.3 mi) of track. Until 2019, almost all proposed lines wer...
Early planning
During the construction of the first line of the Manila Light Rail Transit System in the early 1980s, Electrowatt Engineering Services of Zürich designed a comprehensive plan for a metro service in Metro Manila. The plan—still used as the basis for planning new metro lines—consisted of a 150-kilometer (93 mi) network of rapid transit lines spanning all major corridors within 20 years. The study integrated two studies in the 1970s which recommended the construction of five heavy rail lines in...
Initial construction
The first line, the MRT Line 3, began construction in October 1996 after the Metro Rail Transit Corporation, a consortium of local companies, was awarded a build-lease-transfer contract. In 1997, MRTC entered into a turnkey contract with Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the line's construction. Sumitomo and Mitsubishi subcontracted EEI Corporation for the civil works, while a separate agreement was signed with ČKD Tatra for the rolling stock. Funding for the project wa...
Stations
Most stations of the system are elevated, with some at-grade and underground stations. The stations have a standard layout, with a concourse level and a platform level. Most stations of the MRT Line 3 have side platforms. Line 3 stations have a standard platform length of 130 meters (426 ft 6 in), enough to accommodate four-car train operations, although the line is currently operating with three-car trains. The Metro Manila Subwaywill have a platform length of 210 meters (689 ft 0 in) to acc...
Rolling stock
Presently, only light rail vehicles are operating in the system. Electric multiple unitswill be introduced when Line 7 and the Metro Manila Subway opens.
Signalling
Various signalling systems are being implemented in the system. Fixed block systems are present in all lines except for some lines which use a moving blocksystem. The signalling systems across all lines have different suppliers. Line 3's signalling system was supplied by Bombardier Transportation. Line 7's signalling system, on the other hand, will be supplied by Hyundai Rotem, along with the communications system. The Metro Manila Subway will employ a signalling system based on communication...
Like the Manila Light Rail Transit System, the Manila Metro Rail Transit System uses a distance-based fare structure for all of its lines. Based on publicly available information however, the fares for the Makati Subway will be 20% to 25% higher than the fares of Line 3 and Line 1.
Since then, numerous proposals were planned to expand the system. As of 2024, there are three lines under construction.
