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.
