Free MRT and LRT Rides Announced for April 30 to May 3 in Honor of Workers

If you regularly take the train around Metro Manila, here’s some great news. From April 30 to May 3, commuters can enjoy free rides on MRT-3, LRT-1, and LRT-2. This special treat was announced by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as part of the country’s Labor Day celebration.

The President shared in a short message that the move is meant as a simple way of honoring Filipino workers. He acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the labor force, saying they play a huge role not just in growing the economy, but also in building the nation.

Offering free transportation may seem like a small gesture, but for many workers who commute daily, it can mean saving a bit more for their families or simply having a smoother, stress-free trip. This temporary free ride program is one way to show appreciation to the people who keep the country moving every day.

So if you’re planning to ride the train anytime between April 30 and May 3, take advantage of the free ride, no need to tap your card or buy a ticket. Just hop on and enjoy the trip.
