My first time experience with the new train of PNR
Last Sunday when I went home to Cupang Muntinlupa to check our burned house, my sister and I decided to take the train since we know it’s the fastest way we can arrive to our destination. Besides we want to try the new train of the PNR because we heard that it was just like LRT minus the electricity. And we also want to save 50% of the fare in the bus (the bus fare from Paco to Alabang is P30 while the PNR fare from Paco to Alabang is only P15)
My sister took some pictures of the train, this is what it looks like inside:
(it’s air conditioned, and it’s really looks like the LRT)
(the man walking in yellow polo shirt is the conductor, he checks for new passenger and asks for their fare)
(the train dropping points)
(reminders to all the passengers)
These are the photos we took outside the train:
(the window has a screen protector to avoid being hit by flying rocks being thrown by the people near the railroad)
(people love riding in this train)
I was satisfied riding in the new train of the PNR.
They exceeded my expectation and I am so proud of them. My sister who studied in PUP always rides in the PNR, and the train she had rode before is stinky and very uncomfortable. This new train is very different, she even said that the new batch of students is very lucky to have this train as their way of transportation. The people living besides the railroad before was relocated by the government to some place that is why the surroundings is cleaner too.
Before, you should always watch out for the window since my sister experienced being hit by water with a foul smell, while my brother was hit by a rotten guava that was thrown by some stupid people besides the railroad. Now, since the train windows are closed and was protected by the screen, passengers should not worry about being hit.
Next Sunday when I go back to Alabang I will surely ride in the PNR again.
You should try it, and tell me if you have the same nice experience as mine.
what ever happens in life we should always remember to live life to the fullest

I have experienced riding the new PNR train at in fairness mas malamig ang aircon niya kesa sa MRT at mas mura ang fare from Buendia to Tutuban is P10 lang.

@Cza, taga dito ka din pala before? what street? buti di mo tinry yung dating tren grabe yun sobrang delikado kasi madaming nambabato sa labas. Kawawa nga yung mga taong tinatamaan lalo ng mabahong tubig.
@Marice, hindi ko alam kung may dropping point sa Munti kasi dito lang kami nababa sa Alabang sa likod ng Metropolis. Try mo minsan ang sarap promise!
