Philippine National Railways

Philippine National Railways Experience, The Perks of Riding the PNR the followings stories are based on my experience, there are criticism but all of this are only my opinons. Basically the types of passengers who tends to ride the PNR are as follows: security guards/body guards, senior citizens, just ordinary persons, workers and construction workers, pregnant women, vendors, even if it is a Sunday there are some students, the larger population of passengers are mostly males. There are some positive things about PNR first and foremost the fare is very affordable compare to other modes of transportation next one is that less hasslle you don’t need to ride on another transportation to get to a certain destination, some Employees were polite and courteous, lastly there’s no traffic at all because it is a train. While the Downside of riding the PNR is that the air ventillation, there’s no aircon at all I think it is not working during the ride all of us agreed to open the upper portion of the window because it’s too hot and we are all suffocated, noise pollution such as crying babies, chitchatting passengers/ talking too loud, passengers playing music with their speakers on, and yelling and irretated passengers with each other because some don’t give way when it comes to loading and unloading, conjestion/overcrwoding is the main problem because there are lots of passengers waiting in every stations and it can’t accommodate all of them because the PNR also has it’s own carrying capacity, some station had poor maintenance and poor implementation, also there are no descent ticketing booths unlike to LRT and MRT, I found the motion of the train to be too shaky, at times unsteady, persistent problems with the informal settlers in every station because in every station you will always see their houses which is not a scenic view for me also my blockmate experience that someone throws an object heading to the train maybe it is a stone or what
