Makati Intra-city Subway
proposed rapid transit system in Metro Manila, Philippines
The Makati Intra-city Subway (MkTr) was a planned underground rapid transit line to be located in Makati, Metro Manila, that will link establishments across the city's business district. Its construction was planned through a public-private partnership program between the Makati City Government and a private consortium headed by Philippine Infradev Holdings. Proponents of the subway were expected to begin construction by December 2018, and Makati Mayor Abigail Binay projects completion by 2025. The subway costed $1.8 billion (or ₱90 billion) and was expected to accommodate 500,000 passengers daily. It would have had seven stations, with connections to the existing MRT Line 3 and Pasig River Ferry Service.
The Makati Intra-city Subway was designed to complement the Metro Manila Subway (MMS), a national government project under the Department of Transportation (DOTr). Plans included interconnections between the two systems to facilitate seamless transfers for commuters. Specifically, the MkTr was expected to link with the MMS at the proposed University of Makati (UMak) station.
Construction of this project was initially put on hold after the transfer of jurisdiction of the ten EMBO barangays from Makati to Taguig was finalized in 2023. This is because its planned depot and some stations were intended to be located in the formerly disputed area, according to the original proposed alignment, thus requiring a reworking.
