One of the oldest railway systems in Asia, the Philippine National Railways, or the Pambansang Daangbakal ng Pilipinas, is the most extensive intra-island railway in Luzon. The rail infrastructure dates back to the Spanish colonial period. Despite being underrated and underfunded, PNR offers affordable transportation systems across Metro Manila to Calamba and Laguna.
The Philippine National Railways (PNR) reopened its Calamba – Lucena – Calamba line on Thursday, October 6, 2022. This route will traverse the provinces of Laguna and Quezon.
This reopened line is ready to cater to commuters from Calamba, San Pablo, and Lucena.
The morning trip from Lucena PNR station leaves at 4:50 AM, while the last trip from Calamba is at 6:30 PM.
The running time from Lucena to Calamba is two hours and 33 minutes. While the running time from Lucena to San Pablo is one hour and 32 minutes.
The minimum fare from Lucena to San Pablo is priced at PHP 15, while the minimum fare from Lucena to Calamba is priced at PHP 20.
The reopened line will offer nine flag makeshift stops along Pansol, Masili, Los Banos, College, IRRI, Tiaong (Lalig), Candelaria, Lutucan, and Sariaya PNR stations. Meanwhile, the main stations will be in Lucena, San Pablo, and Calamba.
