PNR - BICOL EXPRESS TRAIN FARE RATE
PNR completes successful test run of PNR South Long haul line - (Manila - Bicol Region 653km ) “Revival" of Bicol Express line
PNR does Naga to Manila in under 13hrs, or 3hrs faster than usual
This was part of a four-day inspection round-trip between Manila and Bicol region of south long haul PNR line.
Things are looking up for Filipino commuters as the Philippine National Railways (PNR) continues to extend its services farther down south of the metro.
You may recall that the PNR began conducting test runs and clearing operations last week in preparation for the opening of the Metro South Commuter Train’s 25th station in Los Baños. The said train previously ran from Tutuban to Calamba, and will now soon see its route reach deeper into the province of Laguna.
That’s not the end of it, though, because the Department of Transportation (DOTr) reports that the PNR has also recently conducted an inspection trip that left Manila for Bicol on September 20 and returned to the metro on September 23. The return trip from Naga to Tutuban took only 12 hours and 44 minutes in total—or three hours faster than the usual trip across the same route.
