The DOTr is planning to privatize the operations and maintenance of the MRT-3, the ownership of which will be transferred to the government in two years as the build-lease-transfer contract with the private sector owner of the EDSA railway system lapses.
“The government is currently studying doing a PPP for the operations and maintenance of MRT-3 after the current BLT agreement expires in July 2025,” DOTr Assistant Secretary for Planning and Project Development Leonel Cray De Velez said during the Saturday News Forum in Quezon City.
“We’re still studying it right now… The strategy is to privatize operations and maintenance,” De Velez said.
