Chapter 5 Through Operation Policy CHAPTER 5 THROUGH OPERATION POLICY 5.1 Through Operation Plan 5.1.1 Advantages of Through Operation Through operation will bring advantages to both railway users and railway enterprises. 1) The advantages for railway users are the alleviation of congestion at terminal stations; and the reduction of transport time by eliminating the necessity of changing trains. 2) The advantages for railway enterprises are the reduction of construction cost and rolling stock cost : and the enhancement of competitive power against other means of transport. 5.1.2 Draft of a Through Operations Plan We will study the possibility of through operations, including the track sections for which construction is already being planned, for the transportation authority responsible for railways for the Manila metropolitan area. A route map of these track sections is shown in Fig. 5.1.1. Of the track sections illustrated, we will study the following tracks, including LRT Line 1 and LRT Line3 that are already in operation, as well as planned tracks. No planning will be carried out for MRT Line 2 and LRT Line 4 because the through operations in the study results will be very complicated. (1) Plan proposal 1) Through operations on LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 3 ① Through operations at the Monumento Station in the north ② Through operations in the vicinity of the EDSA Station in the south Furthermore, LRT Line 6 now being planned is included in LRT Line 1. 2) Improvements and through operations for North Rail Line and MCX Line ① Through operations based on elevation of the track between Tayuman and Vitocruz (use existing track bed) 5 - 1 ② Through operations based on placing the track between Tayuman and Vitocruz underground (shorten by using a separate line) (2) Prerequisites for the comparative study 1) Date for start of through operations will be 2015. 2) The transportation demand estimates for the improvement plans for each track section are shown in Table5.1.1 as Case 1 through Case 4. 3) A comparative study in conjunction with the through operations will be conducted for the following cases. ① LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 3 will be studied by comparing Case 1 and Case 3, including LRT Line 6. ② North Rail Line and MCX Line will be studied by comparing Case 3 and Case 4. 5 - 2 5.2 Plan for Through Operations on LRT Line 1 and Line 3 and LRT Line 6 Plan for through operations at Monumento station This through operations planning proposal can be executed and should be executed. Line 1 and 3 form an important route grid for metropolitan area transportation as loop lines. Transforming Monumento Station into a junction station will be extremely complicated and difficult as a railway route. Therefore, this transformation should not be made, and another plan such as the utilization of a separate line (PNR line, etc.) should be studied, for the transport form suburbs to the city center. Fig. 5.2.1 Through Operation Plan for LRT Line 1 and 3 near Monumento Station (1) Study of facilities and other needs for through operations The present status of transportation facilities on LRT Line 1 and 3 and the plan for facilities that will accompany through operations is shown in Table 5.2.1. (2) Primary investigations and items for improvement during the implementation stage 1) Detailed investigation of train through operations 2) Improvement of train protection systems 3) Investigate yard track layout at terminal stations 4) Agreements with businesses (companies) for through operations 5 - 5 (3) Transport demand for each Case 1) Comparison of Transport Volume Transport Volume (year 2015) 1400 1235.737 1150.98 1200 1000 line 1 800 645.397 line 3 594.933 590.34 556.047 600 Total 404.095 404.909 line 6 400 (1000persons/day) 200 0 Case１ Case３ Fig. 5.2.2 Comparison of Transport Volume 2) Comparison of Sectional Transport Volume (Case 1 and Case 3) LRT Line 1 & Line 3 Sectional Transport Volume 2015 Comparison Case 1(Not connected) & Case 3(Connected) 35,000 → Case 1(Not connected)(Line 1→Line3) Case 3 (Connected) 28,63228,546 30,000 27,522 25,862 25,376 25,338 25,431 24,380 24,435 25,000 23,231 23,22323,123 22,688 22,45222,563 21,673 21,587 21,301 20,648 20,731 19,846 19,673 20,000 18,633 18,78418,765 18,352 17,83217,327 17,693 17,583 16,845 16,971 16,716 16,621 15,562 15,87115,985 15,884 15,68715,685 14,744 14,219 13,703 13,980 15,000 13,35513,270 13,113 13,567 12,55012,550 12,677 11,867 11,34111,534 11,541 11,26110,814 9,894 (persons/hour) 9,563 8,541 10,000 7,916 6,7357,128 5,310 5,000 0 ED Qui Bru Orti G.Pu U.N.

  • Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.89 (2016), pp.9-16 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2016.89.02 Technological Evolution of Manila Light Rail Transit System Tomas U. Ganiron Jr IAENG, Hongkong College of Architecture, Qassim University, Buraidah City [email protected] Abstract This study focuses on the different elements of Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 1 in Metro Manila with the aim of characterizing its technological evolution and putting in context its impact in terms of what it is best designed for and what it can deliver. The study provides the concept of understanding the recent operation and developmental resolutions that the management of LRTA line 1 is providing as a preparation to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the commuters. Through the application of technology and scientific principles by means of transportation engineering for managing the facilities of the LRTA line 1 system, the system can provide safer, more rapid, more convenient, economic and environmental friendly way of transportation for the increasing demand of commuters. However, LRT 1 is best designed to substitute conventional railway services on routes where much higher capacity is required and to reduce travel time, further improving the railway service, also against other modes, therefore leading to mode substitution. Keywords: Highway engineering, railway transit, road engineering, transportation engineering 1. Introduction The traffic jams in Manila are staggering. Only a few traffic lights often disregarded separate the combatants. Every one force his way across the junctions, thus blocking everyone else and so the government decided to find a solution.

  • Chapter 9 Comprehensive Recommendation
    CHAPTER 9 COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION CHAPTER 9 COMPREHENSIVE RECOMMENDATION 9.1 Development of the Railway Network 9.1.1 Realization of Planned Lines The objective of the Study is to make railways in Metro Manila more comfortable and convenient for users and in turn to increase the number of people using railways. The most important and effective means of ensuring that citizens use railways is the construction of a railway network. In the Study, it is not intended to propose the planning and construction of new specific rail routes, however, it is hoped that construction of those routes currently being planned is realized at an early stage. Future plans for rail network construction in Metro Manila have already been demonstrated in the following programs: ① JICA development study “Metro Manila Urban Transportation Integrated Study” (MMUTIS) implemented from 1997 through 1999 ② Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) established by the Philippine Government and having 1999-2004 as the target year The most important thing in order to increase the number of rail users in Metro Manila is to achieve the earliest possible realization of these already proposed rail network plans. In addition to the already operating Line 1, Line 3 and PNR, if construction of Line 2 (currently being built) and the planned Line 3 extension, Line 4, Line 6, North Rail and MCX is realized, dramatic increase in the number of rail users can be anticipated. (See Appendix 3 for the current conditions and plans of railways in Metro Manila). In advancing construction of the railway network, it will be necessary to promote cooperation between related Departments and Agencies such as the DOTC, NEDA, MMDA and DPWH, etc.

  • Funding Transport Infrastructure Development in the Philippines: a Roadmap Toward Land Value Capture
    JULY 2018 Funding Transport Infrastructure Development in the Philippines: A Roadmap Toward Land Value Capture Haraya Buensuceso and Cesar Purisima EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Prevailing discussions surrounding transport infrastructure in the Philippines tend to focus on the boons and banes of different financing models. While such discussions are important and worthwhile, the fact remains that the sustainability of a transport service ultimately hinges on the ability to pay for it. Whether publicly or privately financed, adequate and reliable funding underlies every project’s long-term success. This paper examines a class of funding tools that has been underutilized, but which the Philippine government may consider using as it plans for an era of “Build, Build, Build.” Land value capture, or LVC for short, takes a “beneficiary-pays” approach to infrastructure and encompasses a plethora of strategies that leverage the benefits of higher land values typically found around transport infrastructure such as urban transit stations, corridors, integration hubs, and roads. For many years, there have been two conflicting demands on who should take on the burden of paying for transport projects. On the one hand, there are calls to reduce transit subsidies, which impose a large tax burden on the population, including nonusers. On the other hand, there is continual pressure to keep transit fares at an affordable level for the commuting public. LVC provides a way out of this conundrum and offers the prospect of an infrastructure funding mix that is more equitable, efficient, and sustainable. LVC has taken on various forms around the world, but not all may be suitable for the Philippine context.

  • The Study on the Standardization for Integrated Railway Network of Metro Manila (Executive Summary)
    Envisioned LRT Monumento Station Plaza Envisioned PNR Magallanes Station THE STUDY ON THE STANDARDIZATION FOR INTEGRATED RAILWAY NETWORK OF METRO MANILA (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY) Study Period : February 2000～March 2001 Accepting Organization : Transportation Planning Service, Department of Transportation and Communications 1. Objectives of the Study The Study intends the formulation of a master plan for the integration of the rail transport system in Metro Manila and the implementation of a basic design study on model stations. In addition, technology transfer to counterparts in the Philippines who will participate in the Study during the study period will be conducted through field survey work. 2. Study Method The study team conducted on-site surveys in order to gain an understanding of the actual situation in Philippines. It exchanged views with the Philippine steering committee, technical working committee and counterpart team, and gathered information. Based on the results of the survey in the Philippines and Japanese experience, the study team drew up a report. 3. Study overview The operation, construction as well as planning of urban railway lines are currently in progress in Metro Manila so as to enhance the convenience of transport and to ease the traffic congestion in the region. However, the inadequate consideration of mutual links between different lines and the subsequent lack of a plan for the introduction of services on different lines could create major inconvenience as the public transport, and the construction of new railway lines without proper examination of their conformity with urban planning around new stations has led to problems. Meanwhile, in the software aspect, the introduction of through tickets for passengers using more than one railway line are less than ideal.

  • 2.3.5.1 Manila LRT
    Philippines 2.3.5.1 Manila LRT Key Information Network length xxx Operational lines 2 Stations xxx Ridership xxx Fare system xxx Track and Power xxx Technology Automatic train control Commencement of operations December 1984 Background: Metro Manila is the national capital region of the Philippines, encompassing 16 cities, namely, Manila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Pasay, Pasig, Parañaque, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig and Valenzuela, and the Municipality of Pateros. In addition to the Manila light rail transit (LRT), the region is also served by the Manila Metro Rail Transit system (Manila MRT). Key players: Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC), owns and operates the system. LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) was initially operated by METRO Incorporated, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manila Electric Company. However, after a turbulent employee strike in 2000, the LRTA decided not to renew the 16-year operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement with METRO and has since taken over the operation of the line. In October 2014, Light Rail Manila Consortium (LRMC) secured the contract to construct the extension of LRT-1 to Cavite as well as provide O&M for the entire LRT-1 for xxx years. The consortium comprises Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) Light Rail Corporation (xxx per cent share), Ayala AC Infrastructure Holdings Corporation (xxx per cent share), and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings Philippines Pte Limited (xxx per cent share). MPIC is one of the three main Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Company Limited.
