Govt approves MRT-7
By Darwin G. Amojelar, Reporter
THE Metro Rail Transit line 7 (MRT-7) has been “approved in principle,”
government sources said.
Officials of the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA) added that the draft of the contract agreement is
being reviewed by the Department of Finance. They said the DOF is looking into
the project to see if it is “deficit neutral.”
Guiling A. Mamondiong,
Department of Transportation undersecretary said that after the DOF finds the
project deficit neutral, the NEDA-Investment Coordinating Committee will again
evaluate the project for final approval.
He said the project will be
approved before the year ends.
Earlier, the Manila Times reported that
the government will subsidize for 10 years passenger fares for the planned MRT
7, reaching $1.25 billion.
Based on its financial runs presented in a
June 9 meeting, the proponent Universal LRT Corp. Ltd. proposed an actual fare
of P20 a passenger and an economic fare of P80.56.This means that the government
will shoulder the P60.56 balance.
Universal LRT, however, said the
so-called subsidy payment will be collected by the government from other income
sources such as tax revenues from real-estate development, advertising,
commercial development of the stations and the share of the government in gross
revenues.
Universal LRT’s projected passenger revenues are valued at $10
million to $20 million; transfer ridership, $6.4 million to $12.2 million;
advertising, $1.20 million to $1.60 million; income on land share, $4.4 million
to $11.6 million; income tax, $40 million; other project taxes, $5 million; and
land development, $31 million to $168 million.
The proposal comes at a
time when the government is hard-pressed wiping its budget deficit by 2010. It
also runs counter to a government policy of extending no financial subsidy
similar to what operators of existing light transits enjoy.
MRT 7 will
cost $1.2 billion, and will have a 22-kilometer elevated track running from Tala
in Novaliches to North Avenue corner EDSA passing through Lagro, Fairview,
Commonwealth Avenue before joining MRT Line 3 in North Avenue.
The
project is intended to serve commuters to and from the north of Metro Manila,
including Novaliches, Fairview, Caloocan and Bulacan, and involves the
construction of a 17-km asphalt private road at the Marilao Exit of the North
Luzon Expressway that would terminate at the intermodal terminal in Tala |
