To bring this vision to life, San Miguel Corporation has partnered with South Korea’s Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), a world-class railway operator known for running the KTX high-speed trains. KORAIL isn’t just helping build the system—they’ll also guide its day-to-day operations. From safety protocols to train maintenance, they’ll ensure MRT-7 runs smoothly and safely.

While construction has had its fair share of delays, mostly due to right-of-way issues, progress is steady. Trains are expected to be tested and running by the end of this year, with full operations targeted for 2026. By July 2025, KORAIL will officially begin its work on the ground, helping stabilize operations and transfer their know-how to local teams.
With global experts on board and a clear path ahead, MRT-7 isn’t just another train project—it’s a sign that better, more modern city living is within reach. For commuters dreaming of shorter travel times and more time with loved ones, this new line could change everything.
