Free MRT Rides on Labor Day: A Tribute to Filipino Workers

Edd April 30, 2025


Every year, Labor Day serves as a moment to recognize the dedication and contributions of Filipino workers. In celebration of this occasion, the Philippine government has once again rolled out free rides on Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) and Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2 (LRT-1 and LRT-2) from April 30 to May 3

A Gesture of Appreciation

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the initiative as a way to honor the sacrifices and hard work of laborers across the country. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the free rides are a yearly tradition aimed at giving back to workers and commuters.

Who Can Avail the Free Rides?

The free rides are available to all commuters throughout the four-day period. Whether you're heading to work, running errands, or simply exploring the city, this initiative ensures that transportation is one less thing to worry about.

The Impact on Workers

For many Filipino workers, daily commuting costs can take a significant portion of their earnings. By offering free rides, the government provides temporary financial relief while acknowledging the vital role of laborers in driving economic growth and social development.

Looking Ahead

Labor Day is more than just a holiday—it’s a reminder of the importance of fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth. As the country continues to support its workforce, initiatives like free MRT and LRT rides serve as a small but meaningful way to show appreciation.

So, if you're commuting between April 30 and May 3, take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy a hassle-free ride in honor of Labor Day!
