PNR clarifies: Laguna-Bicol route not yet operational
'Hindi totoo ang kumakalat na impormasyon sa social media na operasyunal na ang PNR Bicol Express kung saan inaasahang tatlong oras na lamang ang magiging byahe mula Laguna hanggang Bicol,' the PNR said on Tuesday.
(The information circulating on social media that the PNR Bicol Express is now operational and that the travel time from Laguna to Bicol is expected to be only three hours is not true.)
President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has ordered the immediate rehabilitation of the Calamba-Legazpi route and it will be operational by 2026.
According to the PNR, the railway firm is also fast-tracking addressing the right-of-way issue of the PNR-South Long Haul Project, which connects Manila to Bicol.
The PNR said the following are the operational PNR routes:
