PNR proudly announces new Naga-Ligao line officially operational starting today, July 31, 2023
News of the PNR closing down its Metro Manila operations in December 2023 has already made the rounds, but that’s not something that will stop them from opening a new provincial route. As of today, those who may wish to travel by rail from Naga, Camarines Sur to Ligao, Albay – and vice versa – will be happy to know that such a travel line now exists. And here’s what you need to know from times and fares alike.

The PNR may be nearing its “end”, but the effort to make lines that are not involved in the closure as useful as possible and to utilize them as much as commuters can is quite commendable. After all, public transport really is for the public and its comfort and convenience. The aforementioned closure is to make way for the construction of the NSCR, or North-South Railway Projects and will see the Metro Manila lines close until its completion.
