Philippines’ Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced that 12 stations of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 7 in Quezon City are set to begin partial operations by 2025.
The stations, from North Avenue to Quirino, will be ready for commuters. Moreover, the Tala station in Caloocan City and the San Jose station in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, are expected to become operational in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The entire 22-km-long MRT-7 line, once fully operational, will reduce travel time between Quezon City and San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, to just 35 minutes, with an estimated 300,000 passengers using the system in its first year.
