Contents

The station was meant to be a part of a revived commuter rail system, built during the term of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. After being constructed, no services to this station were ever provided until August 1, 2018, when it was opened for the Caloocan-Dela Rosa shuttle line. [1] The northbound line is temporarily dismantled to give way for further works in NLEX Segment 10.1, and is currently a temporary single-line track. It was the terminus of said line until the clearing and recondition of the rails in the Caloocan station at Samson Road finished. [2] [3] The line has since been upgraded to terminate at FTI station, with this station no longer the terminus since September 10.

North Luzon Expressway major controlled-access highway in the Philippines

The North Luzon Expressway, formerly known as the North Diversion Road and Manila North Expressway (MNEX), is a 4 to 8-lane limited-access toll expressway that connects Metro Manila to the provinces of the Central Luzon region in the Philippines. It is a component of Expressway 1 (E1) of the Philippine expressway network, Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) and Radial Road 8 (R-8) of Manila's arterial road network. It was built in the 1960s.

Due to nearly a decade of disuse since its construction, the station has been weathered and its gate barriers no longer functioning. It did not have running electricity until very recently, shortly after its reactivation.

Rail transport in the Philippines This is the system of rail transport in the Philippines

Rail transportation in the Philippines presently is used mostly to transport passengers within Metro Manila and the nearby province of Laguna, as well as a commuter service in the Bicol Region. Freight transport is nonexistent, although there are plans for a revival from Port Area, Manila to Laguna, and a cargo train planned between Subic and Clark. Currently, the country has a railway footprint of only 212 kilometers (132 mi) through Line 1, Line 2, Line 3 and the Philippine National Railways' (PNR) Metro Commuter Line, although the government has stated to expand the network by 244 kilometers (152 mi) in Luzon, as well as building the 102 km (63 mi) first phase of the 1,550 kilometers (960 mi) Mindanao Railway expansion.

The public transportation system in Metro Manila, Philippines is inadequate to accommodate the mobility and other basic needs of a densely populated metropolis, the result of many factors and problems that the government has failed to deliver. Metro Manila exists in a state of heavy traffic congestion, with people and goods trapped by the very transportation system that is supposed to move them quickly and efficiently. Because of the insufficient public transportation network, car ownership has risen dramatically, contributing further to the congestion that occurs at all times of day on the road. Filipinos view cars as tools to get them to where they need to go; they also believe that their car is an important symbol of the success they have achieved in life. In recent years, however, the Philippine government has been pushing to improve the system through various infrastructure projects, hoping to solve the interlinked problems of transportation, land use and environment.
