Niog station is an under-construction Light Rail Transit (LRT) station which will serve as the termini of LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) and the proposed Line 6 (LRT-6). The station will be situated on the intersection of Aguinaldo Highway and Niog Road in Bacoor, Cavite. It is part of the LRT-1 South Extension Project, being the final station on the planned extension, while it shall be an intermodal terminal with the LRT-6 towards Pala-Pala station.
The LRT-6 would link the station to the city of Dasmariñas further along the Aguinaldo Highway, creating seven more stations. When built, the station will also serve as the new line's northern terminus.
Niog station was first planned as part of the Line 1 South Extension, which calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers (7.3 mi). The extension will have 8 passenger stations with an option for 2 future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba).[1] The project was first approved on August 25, 2000 and the implementing agreement for the project was approved on January 22, 2002.[2] However, construction for the extension was repeatedly delayed until the project was shelved years later.
The plans for the southern extension project were restarted as early as 2012 during the Aquino administration and was expected to begin construction in 2014, but was delayed due to right of way issues. The issues were resolved in 2016 and the project broke ground on May 4, 2017.[3] Meanwhile, construction works on the south extension began on May 7, 2019 after the right-of-way acquisitions were cleared.[2]
As of December 2021[update], the project is 61.60% complete. The extension is slated for partial operations by late 2024 or early 2025 and full operations by second quarter of 2027.[4]
