Free MRT rides given to PWDs


Persons with disabilities or PWDs will continue to enjoy free Metro Rail Transit (MRT) rides until Saturday (July 23) as the nation observes the 27th National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (NDPR) Week.



With this year’s theme, “Tagisan ng Lakas, Talino at Talento: May K… Kaya Natin ‘To”, the National Council for the Welfare of Disabled Persons (NCWDP) hopes to achieve a greater awareness and deeper understanding of the condition of PWDs in Philippine society.

As for the free rides, the NCWDP said persons with disabilities may travel the North Avenue-EDSA Taft Avenue route of the MRT by simply presenting their Transportation Discounted Fare Identification Card, which is issued by the NCWDP.

Application for the fare discount IDs are entertained at the NCWDP office upon the submission of required documents. For more details, contact the NCWDP office at tel. nos. 926-1165 or 929-8879.
