The Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 7 (MRT-7) is an under construction rapid transit line in the Philippines. When completed, the line will be 22.8 kilometers long serviced by 14 stations. The line runs in a northeast direction, starting from North Avenue, Quezon City up to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. MRT Line 7 will traverse Quezon City and Caloocan in Metro Manila, and will end at the proposed inter-modal terminal station at San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
The MRT-7 project will cost an estimated US$ 1.54 billion or PHP 62.7 billion.
The planned stations, listed south to north, are as follows:
Universal MRT Corporation, which was composed of a consortium of the Tranzen Group, EEI Corporation and SM Prime Holdings and led by former Finance Secretary Roberto de Ocampo submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Philippine Department of Transportation in 2002. In June 2007, DOTC presented a Swiss Challenge in which four business firms submitted their counter proposal. In January 2008, DOTC announced that the ULC proposal emerged as winner and the contract was signed. San Miguel Corporation acquired a majority stake in Universal MRT Corporation (ULC) in October 2010.
In May 2009, The Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) approved the MRT-7 project. Construction of MRT-7 should have commenced in January 2010, but has been postponed several times.
In January 2016 Hyundai Rotem announced that it won a US$ 440.2m contract with Universal MRT Corporation (ULC) to supply 108 Metro Cars, Signalling, Communication and Power supply systems.
