Commuters, Libreng Sakay Is Back on Valentine's Day
Look for buses that say "Libreng Sakay."
(SPOT.ph) Commuters, some relief on Valentine's Day: The Philippine Coast Guard is offering a Libreng Sakay along the EDSA Carousel from PITX to Monumento and vice versa for selected times only.
For Tuesday, February 14, two buses with free fares will be deployed from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. This is the only day (so far) that Libreng Sakay will be offered to commuters this 2023 after the Department of Transportation ended the program on January 1.
"Walang kailangan i-present" to avail the free ride, officer-in-charge Florenz Berbigal told SPOT.ph.
Not all the buses are offering free rides so look for buses with tarpaulins that say "Libreng Sakay," he said.
