Since the modified enhanced community quarantine was implemented on May 16, many workers around Metro Manila have been trooping back to their offices and other workplaces as various businesses reopen their doors for the first time in two months. The only problem? Mass transportation is still banned in NCR. Pasig City recognizes the problem, and has activated its Libreng Sakay bus program to service employees of the 26,511 businesses that have reopened inside the city. For those who live and work in Pasig and are hoping to make use of the program to get around, you can track the Libreng Sakay buses through the Sakay.ph app!
Sakay.ph, which is mainly an app that help commuters navigate Metro Manila, is available on Google Play and the App Store—don't worry, it's free! It lets you track each Libreng Sakay bus so you always know if the city shuttle you want to ride is nearby and you can schedule your routine accordingly. Simply search for the term 'PasigTransport' on the app, select your starting point and destination, and it'll show you everything you need to know. Take note that you can only board or disembark the Libreng Sakay buses at designated stops. Most of the bus routes start at Pasig City Hall and Mega Market to service different areas of Pasig and the outskirts of some surrounding cities. Buses will depart every 30 minutes during peak hours (5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m to 9 p.m.) and every hour during off-peak hours (9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.)
Here are the different routes and designated stops of each Pasig City bus:
