Niog station is an under construction station on the Line 1 and a proposed station on Line 6. The station will be located on Bacoor Boulevard, about 200 metres away from the intersection with Aguinaldo Highway in Bacoor in Cavite. The closest immediate landmarks to the station are the newly built Hotel Sogo branch which would be right next to the station plot, McDonald's, and St Dominic Medical Center further down on the corner with Aguinaldo Highway. It is part of the Line 1 South Extension Project, being the final station on the planned extension, while it shall be an intermodal terminal with the Line 6 towards Governor's Drive station.
The Line 1 plan calls for a mostly elevated extension of approximately 11.7 kilometers (7.3 mi). The extension will have 8 passenger stations with an option for 2 future stations (Manuyo Uno and Talaba).[1]
A former extension and first station right after Niog station has been proposed known as the Line 6, which would link the station to the city of Dasmariñas further along the Molino-Paliparan Road, creating six more stations. When built, the station will also serve as the new line's northern terminus.
As of December 31, 2020, the project is 50.61% complete. Partial operation of the project will be in the end of 2021 and full operation will be in first quarter of 2024.
