The 148-kilometer North-South Commuter Railway Project is financed by the Asian Development Bank. The package covers the construction of the commuter railway’s FTI Station in Taguig and tunneling works to connect the project to the Senate Station, which is also in Taguig, of the Metro Manila Subway Project. The deadline for submission of bids was set for July 8. The Transportation department started seeking bidders for the tunneling works contract connecting the North-South Commuter Railway Project to the Metro Manila Subway Project via a station in Taguig City in April. He said the Metro Manila Subway and the North-South Commuter Railway are designed to be “physically interoperable.”

Batan said in a statement to BusinessWorld on July 19.
