Once the railway was completed, trains were expected to ferry 350,000 passengers daily from Tutuban to Clark. Tugade said the government started development work while it awaited the bidding for the construction work to take place. He added that families in Marilao along the rail route had agreed to leave their homes provided they were given a resettlement area.
