Calamba

The city is divided into 54 barangays, including 7 forming the Poblacion. Calamba's Poblacion is the commercial heart of the city; the congested Calamba Crossing between Maharlika Hwy (Rte 1, also Real Rd up to SLEx) and Rte 66 (or National Hwy locally) lies there. Barangay Pansol, near the boundary of Los Baños is home to many private resorts, both big and small. Canlubang, a large residential barangay, has, the majority of the Nuvali mixed-use development (the remainder lies in Cabuyao and Santa Rosa), Camp Vicente Lim, and two industrial parks.

Philippine National Railways has a station in Calamba, on the South main line from Manila. Service is limited to evening and morning commuter trains, and travel by train is not practical until the existing railway line is modernized.

• 🌍 Calamba-PNR Station, Rizal Street. Served by several air-conditioned trains between Manila and Los Baños (IRRI), and a night train from Manila. Long-distance services are cancelled since 2015. It is also the future terminus of the new electrified mainline running up to Malolos in Bulacan, Clark International Airport in Pampanga, and Capas in Tarlac. (updated Nov 2023)

Calamba is a major crossroads; it serves as an important junction for South Luzon Expy (SLEX, E2), Maharlika Hwy (Rte 1), and Rte 66 (officially Calamba-Santa Cruz-Famy Rd, locally National Hwy). SLEx has four exits: Silangan (exit 45), Canlubang/Mayapa (exit 47), Batino (exit 49), and Calamba (exit 50); the section between the Calamba toll plaza and Ayala Greenfield toll plaza has no exit toll gates. Rte 66 runs from Pagsanjan at Calamba, while Maharlika Hwy (Rte 1), the older toll-free highway paralleling SLEx, runs through the centers of the cities in northwestern Laguna (as the National Hwy) and enters Batangas at Santo Tomas. SLEx and Maharlika Hwy from Turbina forms Asian Highway 26.

Jeepneys serve most areas along the Maharlika Hwy and National Hwy, including Crossing and Pansol. There are also jeepneys to Canlubang, but are impractical for travel to Nuvali.

There are plenty of tricycles around downtown and the Crossing area. Trips generally cost ₱9 per kilometer, but it can cost ₱40 if you catch one alone (or a "special" trip), for example, on a trip from Crossing to the Rizal mansion.

Anywhere in Pansol can be reached by tricycle, with stands near the subdivision entrances.

Traveling by car within the city proper is inadvisable. Traffic jams are common at the Crossing, Pansol and Real, and parking is hard to find at the poblacion. That said, most malls, the City Hall, and the City Park have free parking. The resorts at Pansol are more conveniently accessed by car.
