The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) on Monday expressed support to plans of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to construct a multi-line subway in a bid to improve public transport and ease traffic congestion in Metro Manila.

”The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) welcomes and supports a multi-line subway system being laudably considered for Metro Manila (MM) by Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arturo Tugade. This initiative provides the catalyst for both the public and private sectors to focus and engage in a discourse on this ultimate mass transit option. Most large cities in Asia and elsewhere have subways while MM, although already a megapolis, is the notable exception,” MAP said in a statement.
