the PNR comeback

[Horsepower]

^ nakaka-iyak nga iyong balita na iyan.

nawala din kasi ata iyan sa radar ng gobyerno ever since aquino took over the gov't reigns it being an arroyo pet project.

parang iyong north rail project, balita ko ngayon lang tutukan uli kasi na-amplify iyong transport system woes natin. considering dapat makikinabang ang tarlac dyan, w/c is as everybody knows aquino country , sayang at pinabayaan lang. again kasi arroyo project at beset daw w/ onerous agreements and contracts

Not entirely true. The Aquino Administration should not have approved a law extending PNR's corporate existence. Read Republic Act 10638.

^ bakit bos? i don't think any other entity, local or foreign, would enter the calamity stricken and highly tumultuos philippine railroad industry

hanep parang pang madmax yung tren. parang naka cage. pansin ko nga nung dumaan ako ng espana area e wala na mga squatters dun. good. sana nga maayos yung train system not only for commuting but for freight as well.

kelangan talaga yung grills kasi sari-saring projectiles binabato sa tren. nung nag-inspection kami dati nitong project, pagdating sa alabang puno na ng sangkatutak na basura in plastic bags. in effect, garbage collector din mga trains.

Hindi lang basura, pati evak.

Hoping for the day that trains will become the primary mode of transport once again

That will be the sign that we have industrialized already

Gov’t rolls out P171-B railway project | Inquirer Business

“Rail systems are a driver for inclusive socioeconomic growth. They encourage trade and business activity, and provide access to employment and educational opportunities. The PNR, once a symbol of the country’s economic progress, should be modernized into a safe, convenient and efficient system by 2020,” Abaya said.
Upon full operations, the DOTC said there would be 10 daily trips with seven train sets passing through 66 stations.
It is expected to yield a demand of 316,000 passengers a day on its opening year and is projected to entice around 44,000 public and private vehicle users to shift their commutes to the modernized railway.

The Govt should abolish the Lina law and just bulldoze those squatters. Masyado matagal pag may relocation and whatnot pa.

[cast_no_shadow]

Yes sana nga matuloy, since railways define our country.

oo nga eh. pati daw iyong elevated highway spanning the domestic road up to the future sight of those casinos in the macapagal avenue area a year delayed partly because of a similar problem of this nature

asan na nga ba si lina? doon na lang sa lupa nila dalhin iyong mga illegal settlers na iyan para makatikim naman ng pagdurusa

is true that ayala corp has taken over the pnr? i've been hearing talk about this (from a pnr employee no less) since last year but i don't recall seeing it on our broadsheets or on tv

[baludoy]

i'm not sure if there will still be a pnr in the near future but i hope this rail way rehab/creation via a japanese loan starts sooner than later

[lpasuncion]

Ayaw ko mag isip ng masama pero like the former pres/vp project dati...inumpisahan ang pag rehabilitate ng PNR bago matapos ang term then....WALA NA! Makikita din yung mga nakatenggang ginawa sa area namin sa bulacan.

Karma na lang sana kung pang co-corrupt lang nila ang purpose.

i have always thought, that a pan-philippine railroad is as good an idea as a pan-philippine highway..
i do not know why our leaders refuse to plan for it.
and they say they want to de-congest metro manila? ...spread wealth to the provinces..?
...lip service lang pala..

[benchman]

i want to try it again riding the train from manila to naga city. we did it decades ago and i was ~7 yata. all i remember was we took off at tutuban ~3PM then arrived naga at dawn.
truly i was fascinated with that entire "bumpy journey."

[dishcom]

Nag try kami diyan minsan..di na lalayo sa MRT ang sikip kahit hindi rush hour.
.
On my opinion.. laparan natin mga train natin. Kasi ang kikipot talaga.. hindi na bagay sa volume ng tao..

kanino bang idea na gamitin ang narrow track at hindi yung wider track?

[newtocar]

If i remeber it right, PNR has a 10M or 5M ROW both side of its track, kaso puro squater ang andun. Dapat ipatupad nila ito para mag karoon ng malapad na tren.

[hinlog]

I thought this was planned to be bidded by the government before? so wala ng bidding na mangyayari at government na naman ang mag ooperate? e di parang lrt case din yan, few years down the line, mega reklamo na naman ang sambayanan.
