In a mutual accord sealed through a Memorandum of Agreement  led by Department of Science and Technology Secretary Mario Montejo and University of the Philippines President Alfredo Pascual, the country’s lead science agency and premier university will build a mass railway transit that will run on a two-kilometer stretch across key spots in the sprawling 493-hectare campus. 

Called the Automated Guideway Transit or AGT, the rail-based local mass transit is very similar to the MRT and LRT, except that it is fully automated, driverless, and runs on a single rail which acts as its sole support and guideway.
