Revival of Manila Tram System The old Manila Tramway system is being proposed by a consortium led by Greenergy Holdings Inc. to be revived and serve passengers in the capital city of Manila. A proposed letter of intent was submitted to the city government of Manila to study its feasibility. Trams, which is powered by electric rails above it, are still used as a public transportation system in many urban cities. Greenergy sees this as an opportunity to offer alternative transportation solutions to the increasing traffic in Metro Manila. The proposed tramway system is planned to run within the 10- kilometer stretch of Roxas Boulevard, with 13 stations coming from Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila, up to Qspital ng Maynila in Quiring Avenue. However, if the city of Pasay is willing to join the project, the tram could be extended up to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The said tramway system is also aimed to be connected with another project by Greenergy, the Makati subway system.
