The government headed by Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade and the stakeholders from the private sector at around 10 am today, September 29 conducted the ground breaking ceremony for the long awaited LRT-MRT Common Station or the Unified Grand Central Station.
It is expected to be completed by 2019.
The common station will cover approximately 13,700 square meters of concourse area, will be built between SM North EDSA and Trinom, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said.
The Common Station will seamlessly and conveniently connect LRT-1, MRT-3, the upcoming MRT-7, and the recently-approved Metro Manila Subway.
“Consistent with DOTr’s focus on multi-modal interoperability, the ground level of the Common Station will service road-based PUVs,” DOTr said. “This will allow not only seamless railway-to-railway transfers, but also seamless railway-to-bus-to-jeep-to-AUV transfers. Congestion in EDSA will be reduced since loading and unloading will no longer be at the curbside.”
