TWO segments of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR), which is the Philippine National Railway (PNR) Clark Phase 1 and 2, will soon cut the travel time from Manila to Bulacan province.
The Department of Transportation (DoTr) said the railway is 45.82 percent finished. The 38-kilometer rail line can accommodate 300,000 passengers daily and will shorten travel time from Malolos, Bulacan to Tutuban, Manila to 35 minutes from 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, the PNR Clark Phase 2 is also seen to reduce travel time from Clark, Pampanga to Malolos, Bulacan from 1 hour and 30 minutes to just 35 minutes. DoTr said the 54-kilometer rail line will also feature an Airport Express that will connect arriving travelers from Clark International Airport to Makati City in Metro Manila for only 55 minutes.
The two segments will be integrated with the PNR Calamba Phase 3 segment, a 56-kilometer Tutuban to Calamba line, to form the 148-kilometer mammoth NSCR project, a joint undertaking of the DoTr and PNR. LEA DEVIO
