DOTC study: TriNoma ‘slightly better’ site for common station

TRINOMA is the “slightly better” location. That is the result of an initial study conducted by a Japanese group hired by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) to look into the contentious issue of where the common station for the proposed Metro Rail Transit Line-7 (MRT-7) should be built.

“We’ve hired a Japanese group to conduct a study. Initial study showed: slightly better with TriNoma, so we presented that to them,” DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya told reporters, referring to Universal LRT, the San Miguel Corp.-backed consortium that won the contract to build MRT 7.
