San Miguel bullet train project

[isa1023]

To provide canopy for the NLEX motorists?



Kidding aside, yes you have a point.

That's double the effort plus imagine the traffic if ever it gets into construction stage.

Imagine Slex traffic now because of the Skyway construction.

Why does it have to be made to run in the middle of an existing road network?
Should they not instead do the development parallel to the North Expressway?

Because you will have Right-of-Way problems doing a parallel track. Imagine spending billions having to buy land all the way to Tarlac from Edsa QC. The middle track is empty and ready to be used at almost no cost land-wise.

Think like a businessman. Manny P. most likey saw the beauty of the middle track even before they bought the SLEX project.

hindi ba kumpetensya ang trains at express ways?

ilagay mo yan sa gitna ng NLEX o SLEX, baka bumaba ang bilang ng sasakyan sa expressways.

Nope, dumadami naman ang mga Pinoy by 2,000,000 a year. By the time construction ends may extra 10,000,000 potential customers na!

Ganun mag-isip si Manny P. Math Whiz yun.

This bullet train IMO will remain a pipe dream for now.

Andyan na naman ang Northrail, delayed nga lang gawa madaming nagiingay. Standard gauge naman so makakatakbo ng mabilis ang tren. Yung Southrail project naman, Standard Gauge na din.

i agree. sabi ko nga masyadong ambisyosyo ang bullet train sa ngayon.

yung ordinaryong tren nga hindi natin mapaganda eh bullet train pa.

wala naman masama kung magsimula muna tayo sa ordinaryong train system tapos tsaka tumungo sa mas advanced.

I hope that when they build the railway, they give some thought to the design of the train stations.

1) Aesthetically pleasing. Not like the ugly concrete box structures at EDSA. :down:

2) Located near a properly designed bus / jeepney terminal for hassle-free transfer from train to bus / jeepney / taxi and vice versa.

:please:

and if this really go beyond planning... don't forget those pesky SQUATTERS that seem to populate train tracks.


and if it does not... I agree with the others to just help fix our existing train system. We need to be practical at this point.

some posts ago, i said SMC is behaving like a private equity firm

am i right or am i right?

SMC may buy 100% of Indophil Resources
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/i...10/november/25

Diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp. may end buying 100 percent Australia’s Indophil Resources NL, depending on the results of the due diligence set to be completed January next year.

“If the due diligence is good, we will buy 100 percent of Indophil,” San Miguel president Ramon Ang said in an interview with reporters.

Puro dada lang ang proponent nito. Hanggang kwentong kutsero lang.

i think philippines should focus on rapid or semi-rapid trains. bullet trains are a little bit ambitious for a country with no real good train system to begin with.

Monorail na lang.
