Aside from Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3), the Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) and several routes in Philippine National Railways (PNR) in Bicol will also be giving free rides.
In an advisory on Friday, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced that the LRT-2 will be offering free rides to all government employees from September 18 to September 20.
"Bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Philippine Civil Service Anniversary, ihahandog ng Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) ang libreng sakay sa LRT-2 mula September 18 hanggang 20," the LRTA said.
Free rides will start at 7:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. in the morning and will resume in the afternoon or early evening at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Eligible passengers are encouraged to bring their government identification cards (IDs).
Meanwhile, senior citizens and people with disabilities (PWD) on several routes in Region V will be given free rides by the PNR as part of the celebration of Peñafrancia Festival.
"The [DOTr] and [PNR] will offer FREE RIDES to our fellow senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) in celebration of the Peñafrancia Festival!" PNR said in a post on Thursday.
