Event Details
The Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce of the Philippines will be hosting the second session of Let's Get Rail: Updates on the Railway Projects of the Philippines on June 24, 2021 (Thursday) from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, via Zoom. Fees are still waived for this event thanks to the generosity of our sponsors: Globe Business, AIG, Pacific Cross, and Megawide.
Attend the second part of our webinar to learn more about the on-going and planned urban rail projects in Mega Manila such as the Metro Manila Subway, LRT-1 extension, and MRT-7. The Philippines currently has less than 100 km of operating rail lines, all in Metro Manila. By comparison, Thailand has 4,400 km, without counting Bangkok. Aware that rail is the ideal mode for passenger transport, the DOTr, and the private sector - with support from JICA and ADB - are implementing a significant expansion of the rail network on Luzon and building new lines in Metro Manila. The PRC has also promised to finance and to build new and restore old railroads under its BRI. Over US$ 20 billion worth of projects now under construction and being bid out will double the present network. If you love trains you should attend. Rail can change the way you travel around the city and to the north and south of Luzon. Learn about our future commuting and travel options.
