Rail transportation in the Philippines presently is used mostly to transport passengers within Metro Manila and the nearby province of Laguna. 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 79 kilometres through Line 1, Line 2, Line 3 and the Philippine National Railways (PNR) Metro Commuter Line. This situation will change in the immediate future as the government has plans to expand its current footprint to more than 244 kilometers.
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.
