This initiative aims to promote gender equality and empower women in the transportation industry.

Another provider offering free rides is Metro Rail Transit-Line 3 (MRT-3), which serves the cities of Manila, Quezon City, and Caloocan. On the same day, Friday, March 8, female commuters on MRT-3 will also be able to ride the trains without paying their fare.
