LRT1 to offer free rides to women with disabilities on March 26

As part of the celebration of the Women Disability Month, Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) —operator of Light Rail Transit Line 1 —said  all women with disabilities will be entitled to free rides all day on Monday, March 26.

LRMC said the free rides will be implemented in all 20 stations of LRT1 from Baclaran in Paranaque City to Roosevelt in Quezon City, with the first trips leaving the stations at 4:30  a.m., while the last northbound trip from Baclaran will leave at 10:00 p.m. and the last southbound trip from Roosevelt at 10:15 p.m.

To avail of the free rides, female PWDs will be asked to present either their Person with Disability (PWD) ID or any valid government ID to the tellers on duty, it said.

They will then be directed to the designated service gate.

"This special treat to female PWDs is courtesy of LRMC, in cooperation with the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA), which is celebrating its 14th Women with Disabilities Day with the theme #ProgressToSuccess: Babaeng Maykapansanan sa Pagbabago Manguna at Manindigan Ka campaign this year," the company said. —Ted Cordero/LBG, GMA News
