DOTr's 'Pamilya Pass' Offers Free Rides on Sundays in Metro Manila
Metro Manila's DOTr Launches 'Pamilya Pass' for Sunday Train Travel: A Boon for Budget-Conscious Commuters Metro Manila, Philippines – The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced a new initiative aimed at easing the financial burden on commuters: the "Pamilya Pass 1+3 promo." This program, effective every Sunday, offers significant savings on train fares across the MRT-3, LRT-1, and LRT-2 lines. Under the promo, for every group of four passengers, only one individual needs to pay for their journey. This means three passengers travel for free, providing substantial relief, especially for families and groups of friends. The initiative was launched with the support of President Bongbong Marcos, who sees it as a project that will greatly benefit Filipinos. "This is a project that will help Filipinos and allow them to enjoy their Sundays with their families," said a DOTr representative during the launch event. Many commuters expressed their appreciation for the program, highlighting the financial benefits it provides. "This is a great help, especially for families like ours," shared one commuter. "It will make it easier for us to travel together and spend time together without worrying too much about the cost." The "Pamilya Pass 1+3 promo" is a positive step towards making public transportation more accessible and affordable in Metro Manila, promoting family togetherness and easing the financial strain on commuters.
