Had some of these been done in Bukit Panjang, perhaps the awkward ups and downs around Teck Whye, and perhaps Bangkit, might have been less painful to ride through. Even the Kelana Jaya line has a short cutting underground in the area of Sri Rampai station. In Lille, since the Lille Metro is considered a full-fat subway system and not a cheap replacement for the inability to build proper MRT lines fast enough (though to be fair, JRL stage 3 is taking as long as the Circular Line in Taipei to build), there are underground sections and all. This is where implementation fell short of the lofty visions espoused by Lille and other French cities. Initial plans for the Marina Line also show a “4 car” system, likely people-mover based, capable of carrying 20k pphd. As RMTransit says, capacity can be sharply increased by brute forcing trains in frequency - if they so wanted, the 10k pphd target of the RTS can easily be achieved by running 50 200-person 2-car LRT trains per hour - very easily doable as shown in Lille. It would thus not have been hard to think that when the LTA conducted their LRT scoping studies in the 1990s, they went to France and received a presentation from the French along the lines of the RMTransit video. I will let RMTransit explain more in the below embedded video. In France around the late 20th century, there was also considerable interest in light automatic subway systems. I expect to cover more on the nature of these fixes in a future blog post and how far they can go. Just because we’re realized our follies and are not building any more doesn’t mean we can’t try to fix whatever we already have.

Others don’t make so much sense, but we will have to look at them anyway, since these come from the fact that we are not using the LRT system to its full potential. But other points are more reflective of how we build rail lines in general (or how we did so at the time), and they will also need to be addressed for the upcoming JRL. Sure, I might have agreed once, especially considering that a previous transport minister was the person who made it fashionable in the first place, but there is a significant amount of nuance that is being ignored in favour of feel-good NotJustBikes-like soundbites. Project completions include the iconic Tower Two and more civic spaces at Ayala Triangle Gardens, a world-class performing arts theater, several mobility programs which include bike lanes, and the redevelopment of Jaime Velasquez Park.Īyala Land’s Festival of Lights this holiday 2021 will be headlined by Jose Mari Chan Christmas song medley.Recently, several internet pundits have come out with several rather odd views of the people mover systems we’ve called LRTs. Makati has always been known to be the center of business, lifestyle, arts, and culture, and this will further be strengthened upon the completion of the revitalization program. The redevelopment planning began in 2012 to ensure that Makati continues to serve the ever-evolving needs of its residents, office workers, locators, and other stakeholders. The Paseo-Villar underpass is just one of the revitalization projects that will be completed in the Makati Central Business District within the next few months.

These infrastructures allow for greater pedestrian mobility which makes it an ideal “15-minute city” where one can easily access a variety of establishments – supermarkets, shopping malls, restaurants, schools, offices – within a 15-minute walk.Īmong the construction of eye-catching structures and open spaces, the creation of walkways and other pedestrian-friendly infrastructure was a major part of the city’s revitalization plan to provide accessibility to the community and create a safer and enhanced walking experience. Makati continues to be known as a pedestrian-friendly city with its network of underpasses and walkways. It also provides another access point to Ayala Triangle Gardens so that people who work in Salcedo Village can easily walk to this urban oasis for a mid-day break. With the completion of the underpass, pedestrians can now enjoy a safer and more comfortable walking experience while crossing Paseo de Roxas while allowing for improved vehicular traffic along the main road.
