On the other hand, the Airspeed Group of Companies will serve as official logistics partner, offering the new fulfillment option to clients, such as e-commerce platforms, and small and medium enterprises.

“We’re giving our passengers a glimpse into our future,” said LRMC president and CEO Juan F. Alfonso. “We want to enhance the commuter experience, make it truly world-class, so commuters feel like they are in a station going to other countries.”

The new smart locker technology provides convenience and time efficiency for customers, added Airspeed Group’s chairperson Rosemarie Rafael.

“We aim to make it happen – from creating a better online shopping experience to faster documents and parcels delivery,” she said.

Soon, the public can receive packages more conveniently. The easy consumer package returns will be part of the next phases of the partnership.
