It is not a line status: nothing here can be priced or planned. Every target is the latest stated by the DOTr or the operator, with its source; each has slipped before, so re-check them (docs/new-lines.md). An entry is removed the day the line's own dataset ships. Left out on purpose: the Metro Manila Subway, whose only firm date is a demonstration run and whose line code is not settled, and LRT-1's Cavite extension, which is more stations on a line that already exists.",
