The PNR Metro Commuter Line was a commuter rail line operated by the Philippine National Railways. It was first inaugurated as the Metro Manila Commuter Service in 1970, and originally served the North Main Line and the South Main Lines, as well as the defunct Carmona and Guadalupe branch lines. Since then, it adopted several names such as Metrotrak[4] and Metrotren,[5] before adopting its present name in the late 2000s. The line was also nicknamed the Orange Line due to its designation in the 1970s.
The present line prior to its closure had 36 stations serving Metro Manila and Laguna. It is divided into two sections which meet in Tutuban station in Tondo, Manila. The Metro North Commuter section ran from Tutuban to Governor Pascual station in Malabon and is colored light green in the system map of PNR. On the other hand, the Metro South Commuter section ran from Tutuban to IRRI station in Los Baños, Laguna and was colored orange. Some stations connect to LRT Lines 1 and 2, and MRT Line 3.
It permanently closed on March 28, 2024 to give way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway, which will assume its role upon completion around 2029. Although the line has been shuttered, there are plans to reinstate its tracks at a later date, following the completion of the new railway system.
