MRT-3 to give free rides to senior citizens


Management of the Metro Rail Transit line 3 announced Tuesday that it will be giving free rides to all senior citizens for the entire year 2008 starting January 15. The MRT-3 runs above EDSA Ave. from North Ave. station in Quezon City to Taft Ave. Station in Pasay City. According to Metro Star General Manager Roberto Lastimoso, the "Alay kay Nanay at Tatay" Project is part of the pro-poor program of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Under the project, MRT-3 management will put up senior citizen lanes in all MRT stations, where senior citizens can get their free tickets. The free tickets will be given out from 7a.m. to 9 a.m. Lastimoso said senior citizens will just have to present their identification cards in order to get the tickets. - GMANews.TV
