#mrt 7

The Common Station will interconnect the three rail lines - the MRT 3, LRT 1, and the soon-to-be-constructed MRT 7. The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) has announced the start of the construction of the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7) which will connect Bulacan to the MRT-3 and the LRT-1. After 7 years, the awaited MRT Line 7 will finally see the light as Universal LRT Corporation BVI Limited (ULC) is ready to start construction in a few days. The rail component MRT7 project is a 22.8-kilometer rapid-transit system with 108 rail cars in a 3-car train configuration. 14 trains will be contructed along the route of the new MRT starting from San Jose del Monte, Bulacan to North Avenue, Quezon City. There will be a common stationat the end of the line, which will be located near TriNoma, wherein passengers will be able to transfer to the existing MRT3 and LRT1. If you're one of the usual commuters who often ride the MRT or LRT, don't be surprised if you'll be paying for more than what you actually do. Meanwhile, the biggest price increase will be at the EDSA-situated MRT-3 line, and this will mean an additional one peso for the base fare and another additional peso for every succeeding kilometer.
