Transportation Undersecretary Mark Steven Pastor said the proposed transport hub is currently undergoing a feasibility study under the DOTr.

Pastor expects findings of the study to be presented and reviewed by the agency within the end of the year. Based on the study, the DOTr will determine the site for the project.

“We want it to be based on science and it should be technologically sound so as we can locate a particular area that will serve and cater to the commuters for the northern part of the NCR (National Capital Region),” he told reporters.
