Female passengers to get free LRT-2, MRT-3 rides on March 8 for International Women's Day
Women commuters, this one's for you.
On March 8, Sunday, International Women's Day, rides on the LRT-2 and MRT-3 will be free for all female passengers from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The MRT-3 management shared the "Libreng Sakay" offer on its Facebook page on Monday, March 3. The LRT-2 management announced the same offer the following day, March 4.
“Sa bawat biyahe ng kababaihan—bilang lider, manggagawa, ina, estudyante, at tagapagtaguyod ng pagbabago—nararapat lamang silang kilalanin at ipagdiwang,” LRTA Administrator Hernando Cabrera said in a statement shared on the LRT-2's Facebook page.
"Ang libreng sakay na ito ay munting handog bilang pagpupugay sa kanilang lakas, dedikasyon, at inspirasyon sa ating bansa," he added.
International Women's Day is marked globally. On this day, women are celebrated for their political, economic, cultural, and social achievements. It is also a time when calls for gender equality and positive change toward women are amplified.
This day falls within Women's History Month. Throughout March, a spotlight is placed on women and their causes.
