Vaccinated commuters can get free train rides until end of ECQ

At a time when people are urged to stay at home to avoid getting COVID-19, there are still others who need to brave their way through the pandemic. With that in mind, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) will offer fully vaccinated commuters free rides at the Metro Rail Transit Line 3, Light Rail Transit Line 2, and Philippine National Railways.

Secretary Arthur Tugade announced that the free rides can be availed starting on August 3 until the 20th, which is the last day of lockdown in Metro Manila. He said on Monday, ‘Simula bukas, libre na ang pamasahe ng mga bakunadong APOR (Authorized Persons Outside of Residence), kahit nakaka-isa o dalawang dose na ang mga ito.’

‘Ang inisyatibong ito ay napagkasunduan ng buong Kagawaran ng Transportasyon upang makatulong sa pagpapanatili ng kalusugan at kaligtasan ng ating mga kababayan, at upang matulungan ang gobyerno na mahikayat ang ating mga kababayan na magpabakuna,’ Tugade added.

Before claiming their free train ride, commuters will have to present their vaccination card as proof that they have been jabbed against COVID-19. While the three rail lines are associated agencies of the DOTr, the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) which is owned by a group of private companies, hasn’t declared a similar announcement.
