Conglomerate San Miguel Corp., led by billionaire Ramon S. Ang, is expected to begin the Quezon City operations of the 22-kilometer Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7) by the end of 2025.
This was announced by Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, who was referring to the Quezon City stations of the MRT-7, which aims to cut travel time between North Avenue and San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan to about 35 minutes.
"I saw the full speed construction and I'm very happy that they are completing Quezon City leg of MRT-7 which will be operational at the end of 2025,” Bautista said.
“I am very much impressed with how San Miguel Infrastructure has constructed all the facilities and I'm sure with all your help and hard work we should be able to open this Quezon City leg of MRT-7,” he added.
According to a report by GMA News Online, the railway line’s Quezon City leg runs from North Avenue until Lagro.
Bautista said the MRT-7 is expected to serve 300,000 passengers during its first year of operations.
Meanwhile, the full completion of the project was to delayed to at least 2027 after the local government unit in San Jose Del Monte requested a realignment of the railway line's route, the Philippine Star reported.
