During the 38th Regular Session of the 17th City Council of Davao, Project Delta Corporation presented the model of Maglev Monorail in Davao City. Maglev Monorail is a mass transport system and it is the first in the world that will be developed by Filipinos. Last October 13, 2015, during the privilege hour, its advantages were presented. According to Denis Estrella, Executive VP for Operations, it doesn’t cost much and it is good for both high and low speed.

As of now, their team is planning a 25-meter Maglev Monorail mass
transport system in Bago Oshiro, Philippine Science Centrum for the
investors and users to see the working model. The working model has a
5-month target of construction and the project is funded by the
Department of Science and Technology (DOST). If this will be
implemented, it will be replicated for commercial application along
the routes of Davao City in the next five years.

The train has interesting features such as station charging for
lesser use of energy, no power requirement as when it glides; a spin
induced magnetic levitation is applied. It also has a low maintenance
cost. Although its safety features are still being studied, the train
shall run 85km/hr.
The proposed routes are Ecoland, Airport and Davao City loops.
