Free jeepney rides offered on select Metro routes

The public can avail themselves of free rides on modern jeepneys from Nov. 5 to Nov. 14 under an initiative launched by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Transportation.

The 30 jeeps, which feature vehicle wraps promoting the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit and Related Meetings, will ply two routes: SM Fairview to Buendia (North Route) and Sucat to Baclaran (South Route), “with 15 vehicles assigned to each route,” the DOT said.

“Both routes will operate from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The North route will have eight one-way trips, while the South service will have 10,” it added.

The DOT also said the jeepneys will feature iconic Philippine tourist attractions as part of promotion efforts.
