The Philippine National Railways (PNR) announced that it would resume its train services on the Calamba-Lucena route and vice versa starting July 14, 2025.
The resumption of services follows a presidential directive to ensure safe and efficient travel for PNR commuters, the agency said.
Trains will pick up and drop off passengers at the Lucena, San Pablo and Calamba stations. Flag stops will also be available in Sariaya, Lutucan, Candelaria, Tiaong (Lalig), IRRI, College, Los Baños, Masili and Pansol.
Regular fares for the Lucena to Calamba route will range from P15 to P105.
The first train departs Lucena at 5 a.m., arriving in Calamba at 7:30 a.m. The return trip will leave Calamba at 5:45 p.m., arriving in Lucena at 8:18 p.m.
Students, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and senior citizens with valid IDs will receive discounted fares, ranging from P12 to P84, the PNR said.
The PNR temporarily suspended the Lucena-Calamba-Lucena route on June 17 to pave the way for major on trains serving the line.
It said the halt of operations would also prepare the transfer of train sets from Manila to Quezon and Bicol to provide safer, more reliable and more affordable public transportation for commuters.
It earlier suspended operations on its Metro Manila commuter line amid the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project.
The suspension began on March 28, 2024, and is expected to last for five years.
