PH railway system to be digitalized

THE Philippine railway system would undergo massive digitalization, said Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista.

"Digitizing Philippine railway operations means building a solid and fully connected technology-stacked rail sector. Digitalization and technology-driven innovations are expected to improve the country's railway systems to become at par with those of Japan. In order for the Philippines' railway system to achieve enhanced system efficiency, we need to embrace this digital evolution towards a people-centric transport sector transformation," Bautista said in his speech during the event titled "RailDX 2024: Upskilling Rail Workers for the Digital Age" on Tuesday.
