Bautista joined President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in awarding the respective contract packages of North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project to the winning bidders Acciona-DMCI joint venture and to Leighton-First Balfour JV.
“We have often underscored the significant economic and social benefits this new railway will bring to residents in Central Luzon and the CALABARZON area. This ambitious project will resurrect the once proud culture of rail transport in the Philippines,” Bautista said.
Once completed in 2029, the DOTR said the 147-km NSCR will make travel time from Clark Airport in Pampanga to Calamba in Laguna to less than 2 hours from 4-4.5 hours.
The agency said NSCR can accommodate some 800,000 passengers a day.
DOTR added that during the railway construction, approximately 110,000 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be generated.
