MANILA – Filipino veterans can ride the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) and Light Rail Transit Line 2 (LRT-2) for free from April 5 to April 11 in honor of the 83rd Day of Valor and Philippine Veterans’ Week.
MRT-3 General Manager Michael Capati announced the initiative, recognizing the sacrifices and contributions of World War II veterans. “Kinilala ng MRT-3 ang dakilang sakripisyo at kontribusyon ng mga beterano ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig sa ating bansa,” Capati said.
To avail of the free ride, veterans must present a valid Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) ID at any MRT-3 station. Each veteran can also bring one companion who will also ride for free.
