FTI station

FTI station (also called Food Terminal Junction station) is a railway station located on the South Main Line in Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is named after its major landmark, the grounds of the formerly state-owned Food Terminal, Inc. which is now renamed as Arca South.

The station is the thirteenth station from Tutuban and is one of two stations serving Taguig, the other station being Nichols.

History

The station was opened on January 19, 1977, as Food Terminal Junction station, replacing the now-defunct Balagbag station that was located few meters northwest. In 2018, PNR extended the North Shuttle Line southwards from Dela Rosa to FTI as its new terminus, effectively starting on September 10, while northwards from Caloocan to Governor Pascual started on December 3. On March 28, 2024, station operations were temporarily suspended to make way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway. It will be repurposed as an elevated station.

The station is near major landmarks such as the Ayala Land development Arca South, Technological University of the Philippines-Taguig Campus, the Sunshine Mall, the Taguig-Pateros District Hospital, a major warehouse of the National Food Authority and, most notably the Fort Bonifacio Tenement. Further away from the station are the Western Bicutan National High School and Signal Village.
