The Makati Intra-city Subway or (MkTr) is an 11-kilometer (6.8 mi) under-construction underground rapid transit line located in Makati, Metro Manila, that will link establishments across the city’s business district.

The subway will cost $3.7 billion (or ₱192 billion) and is expected to accommodate 700,000 passengers daily. It will also have ten stations, with connections to the existing MRT Line 3, the Pasig River Ferry Service, and the under-construction Metro Manila Subway.
