Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The MRT4 project will be a fully elevated railway mass-transit system to serve the eastern side of Metro Manila including the highly populated areas of the province of Rizal. As a high-capacity urban public-transport system, the MRT4 will address the current transport bottleneck along the Ortigas avenue, will be approximately 13.4 km long, with 10 stations, and barrier-free design to allow inclusive access. The project will provide a reliable, rapid, affordable, and safe public transport; will reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions; will reduce traffic congestions and commute/travel times from Taytay to the Ortigas central business district (CBD) from currently 1-3 hours by road to less than half an hour by rail. It will ensure maintain the high economic growth and inclusive urban development of eastern Manila, the Ortigas CDB, Pasig city and the neighboring Rizal province. It will be developed as an integrated public transport system, interconnected to the existing and/or currently implemented public mass-transit systems (i.e., MRT3 and the Metro Manila Subway Project), with an intermodal integration of bus feeder routes and jeepney lines and will center on transit-oriented developments along the corridor.
