00:00 The last day of the Philippine National Railway's journey on its route, Governor Pascual Tutuban and Tutuban Alabang.
00:07 Tomorrow, the PNR will stop its operations in Metro Manila for five years to prepare the North-South Commuter Railway Project.
00:17 We will now call Joselyn Jeronimo, operations department manager of PNR. Good morning.
00:24 Hello. Hello. Good morning, sir. Good morning.
00:30 Good morning.
00:31 Good morning to all of our listeners. Good morning to all of us.
00:34 What time is the last trip of PNR on its route, Governor Pascual Tutuban and Tutuban Alabang?
00:40 Okay. Sir, yes sir. Today is our last trip for Tutuban to Alabang. It's 8.36. That's our last trip.
01:00 The trip from Alabang will leave at 8 p.m. Then, the last trip from Governor Pascual will leave at 5 p.m., 5.14 p.m.
01:20 The trip from Bicutan will leave at 8.55 p.m.
01:28 Where can passengers ride?
01:33 Okay sir. We have coordinated with PNR and DOTR with LTFRB.
01:42 There will be bus augmentation. They have approved and issued special permit.
01:50 We will have a Tutuban Alabang route. This is near our stations of PNR, the stops of this route.
02:02 That's why our passengers will not be confused. LTFRB initially approved 25 bus units for this route.
02:16 Okay. This is the route that will be used by Tutuban to Alabang, our southbound. The bus will leave from Divisoria, Tutuban.
02:29 It will go to Jaligui Street, Santos, Recto, Legarda, Quirino Avenue, Antahan Flyover, Mabini Bridge, Quirino Avenue, Osmeña Highway, and then Nichols Entry via X-Flex and then Bicutan Exit.
02:47 Bicutan Entry and Alabang via Star Mall, the end of the line bus. That's the route that will pass from Alabang to Tutuban.
03:00 They have issued bus schedules. Their first trip to Alabang will leave at 5 a.m. and the route from Tutuban to Alabang will leave at 7 p.m.
03:15 That's their first trip.
03:17 Will the fare be the same?
03:19 Sir that's the only difference. The rail fare is different. The reference for our rail matrix is different.
03:31 It will pass through the road, that's why the road fare matrix will apply.
03:38 So it will be more expensive?
03:40 In PNR, it's P30 because our reference is different. In road, if I'm not mistaken, it's P70.
03:53 Okay. Your constituents should prepare for that. Can you reduce the five years, ma'am Josie?
04:00 Sir, it may be faster and it may pass faster. But as of now, that's the timetable.
04:12 That's why we will stop our operations. The truth is, the implementation for NSER will be around eight months.
04:26 That's how we will save on the government's expenses if PNR will stop operations in Metro Manila.
04:38 Thank you very much Joseline Jeronimo, operations department manager of PNR. Be careful.
04:43 Thank you also. Good morning.
