6.1 GENERAL
The AFC system provides efficiency to the Operator and convenience to the passengers of the Metro
Manila subway. The AFC is applied to all the sixteen (16) Stations of Metro Manila Subway Project
(MMSP) from Quirino Highway station to Bicutan station, and from Lawton East station to Terminal 3
(T3) station.
A Partial Operability (PO) section from Quirino Highway Station to North Ave station is planned as
Stage 1 of MMSP Phase 1.
Furthermore, the Metro Manila Subway (MMS) trains will operate on the North South Commuter Rail
(NSCR) corridor from Bicutan Station on MMSP to Calamba station of NSRP-South.
