THE Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced that commuters that will present a valid National ID will receive free rides on the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) every Wednesday in August.
This is in celebration of the enactment of Republic Act (RA) 11055 (Philippine Identification System Act).
In an advisory, the DOTr said the free rides will be available on Aug. 5, 12, 19, and 26, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
A separate free ride will also be offered on Sept. 16, 2026, in celebration of Global Identity Day, the DOTr said.
Commuters may present their physical National ID, Digital ID or ePhilID in paper format to avail of the free service.
The initiative is a partnership between the DOTr-MRT-3 and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
