IN celebration of the National Children’s Month, the MRT-3 will offer free rides to children today, November 6, 2023.
Children below 18 years old, including students under kindergarten, elementary up to senior high school, can ride free during peak hours starting at 7 a.m. up to 9 a.m. and later at 5 p.m. up to 7 p.m.
All they need to do is to present a valid school ID to the station security personnel in order to avail of the free ride.
“Nakikiisa po ang buong linya ng MRT-3 sa pagdiriwang ng National Children’s Month ngayong buwan ng Nobyembre. Nawa po sa aming libreng sakay ay maipadama namin sa ating mga kabataan ang aming paghanga at pagpapahalaga sa kanilang galing at husay, na siyang magiging pundasyon ng ating maunlad na bayan,” according to Department of Transportation (DOTr) Assistant Secretary for Railways and MRT-3 Officer-in-Charge Jorjette Aquino.
The “Libreng Sakay” is the MRT-3’s response to the request of the National Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) for this special occasion of the National Children’s Month and as its tribute to the Filipino youth.
