00:00 The Philippine National Railways PNR is currently closed. Passengers are in trouble.
00:07 There are buses returning to the routes but their expenses for passengers are increasing.
00:13 We have live news with Nico Guaje. Nico.
00:17 Good morning, Igor.
00:23 Buses are paying more for passengers who are affected by the closure of the PNR routes.
00:30 Their expenses for passengers will be doubled, which is a big addition to their budget.
00:35 Today, for the first time in many years, Manuel will not ride the Philippine National Railways PNR.
00:45 He will be returning to work in Santa Mesa, Manila.
00:49 That is after the PNR operation on the Governor Pascual-Tutuban and Tutuban-Alabang routes
00:55 to give way to the North-South Commuter Railway or NSCR project.
00:59 It will take five years.
01:01 That's why from here in Alabang, he will ride the bus that was augmented by the Department of Transportation.
01:06 It's my first time. I'm just taking a break.
01:11 Of course, it's hard at first.
01:13 If it's like that, we can't do anything.
01:15 Gerald, on the other hand, is remembering the huge expense of the massage.
01:19 Before, it was only P25 for a massage from Alabang to Espana, where he was paying for the PNR.
01:25 Now, he will only pay P65 for the bus to go.
01:30 It's heavy for a minimum wage earner like him.
01:33 It's a big expense compared to the expensive jeepney rides.
01:41 From P60 to P20.
01:43 It's a big addition.
01:45 That's also the problem of other passengers.
01:48 It's sad.
01:50 It's more convenient in PNR than taking a bus.
01:55 Based on the price of the buses that were augmented by the DOTR,
01:58 the final trip from Alabang to Tutuban is P71.71,
02:04 P40 more expensive than P30 for PNR.
02:13 I was up early in the morning when the bus to PNR was about to leave for Alabang to Tutuban.
02:21 The last trip was at 6 p.m.
02:23 For those who will ride from Tutuban to the first trip at 7.30 a.m.
02:30 The last trip is at 9 p.m.
02:33 According to the DOTR, 25 buses will pass through PNR.
02:39 Live from here in Muntinlupa,
02:41 I'm Nico Juaez for GMA Integrated News.
02:45 Igan, you're first in the news.
