Northern Route (MRT Line 5)

The Northern Route, also known as MRT Line 5, is a planned expansion of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system in Metro Manila, Philippines. This proposed line is intended to alleviate traffic congestion and improve connectivity within the northern regions of the metropolis and potentially beyond. Specific details of the line, such as exact stations, right-of-way acquisition, and construction timelines, are typically subject to revisions and public announcements from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the MRT Authority. General expectations for the line include integration with existing MRT and LRT lines, aiming for a seamless transfer experience for commuters. The Northern Route is envisioned to spur economic development in the areas it traverses and contribute to a more efficient public transportation network in Metro Manila. As a future project, its final design and implementation are contingent on government funding, private sector participation, and various feasibility studies.
