THE North-South Commuter Railway Project is going full steam ahead, as its Tutuban to Malolos leg, known as PNR Clark Phase 1, commenced full-blast construction Friday.
PNR Clark Phase 1, a 37.6-kilometer mass railway transportation, is one of the flagship projects of the Duterte administration implemented by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Philippine National Railways (PNR).
It will have 13 train sets, composed of 8 cars each, which will be running at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
PNR Clark Phase 1 will have a total of ten (10) stations, namely, Tutuban, Solis, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, Balagtas, Guiguinto, and Malolos station. It will house a depot on a 14-hectare lot in Valenzuela City.
Once completed, this project will reduce travel time between Manila and Bulacan from one hour and 45 minutes to just 35 minutes, serving approximately over 300,000 passengers daily.
PNR Clark Phase 1 will be seamlessly connected with the PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos-Clark) and PNR Calamba, forming one integrated commuter railway system that will serve commuters traveling to, from, and within NCR, Region III, and Region IV-A.
