Female passengers get free MRT rides on International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is tomorrow, and to celebrate the occasion, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and MRT-3 management have announced that all female passengers will be allowed to ride the rail line free of charge.

Free entrance for women will only be in effect on March 8, 2019, during the hours of 7am to 9am in the morning and 5pm to 7pm in the evening.

“Ang DOTr MRT-3 ay magbibigay ng libreng sakay sa aming mga babaeng mananakay sa darating na ika-8 ng Marso, 2019, bilang pakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng International Women's Day!” the announcement reads.

“Libreng makakasakay ang mga babaeng pasahero ng MRT-3 mula alas-7 hanggang alas-9 ng umaga, at alas-5 ng hapon hanggang alas-7 ng gabi.”

Granted, the celebratory treat still falls on a Friday, and during rush hours, too. But hey, a free ride is a free ride. Happy International Women’s Day everyone.
