The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Friday deployed nine vehicles to offer commuters "Libreng Sakay" in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.
In a press release, the MMDA said the free rides will accommodate more commuters, especially students as in-person classes have begun.
Seven buses and two military trucks are set for passengers traveling from Doña Carmen to Welcome Rotonda, Quezon City, according to MMDA Acting Chairman Engineer Carlo Dimayuga III.
He said about 500 to 600 passengers per day are expected to benefit from the program and it targets to operate until December this year.
The free rides will be available from Monday to Friday, from 6 am to 11 am and 1 pm to 6 pm.
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte expressed her gratitude to the MMDA for the program which she said would be a great help, especially to students who commute daily.
