No, this isn’t April Idiot’s—the Philippine Nationwide Railways (PNR) is formally reintroducing the Calamba-Lucena route.
Commencing right this moment, April 1st, the reinstated route will supply a single each day journey from Lucena to Calamba at 5 a.m. and from Calamba to Lucena at 5:45 p.m. It is a restricted schedule, however actually a welcome return.
The fare from Lucena, Quezon to Calamba, Laguna begins at P20, with reductions out there for seniors, college students, and individuals with disabilities. In accordance with the PNR, the journey time from Lucena to Calamba is roughly two hours and 33 minutes.
As of March, operations inside Metro Manila have been formally halted. Issues relating to the PNR’s continued operation alongside the NSCR building embrace heightened dangers of debris-related incidents as a result of predominantly elevated construction of the NSCR.
The NSCR, spanning 147 kilometers of city rail transit from New Clark Metropolis to Calamba, guarantees to scale back journey time from 4 hours to below two hours upon completion, slated for both 2028 or 2029.
