THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has partnered with Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) and Global Electronic Transport Philippines (GET Philippines) to provide free rides to commuters through the Electric Love Bus program.
The partnership will provide a point-to-point service to patrons of Robinsons Galleria and Bridgetowne Destination Estate, RLC said in a statement on Wednesday.
The PWD-friendly Electronic Love Bus, which will operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., has a capacity of 30-35 passengers. It will run a total of eight trips per day for seven days a week, except on holidays.
RLC noted that pick-up points will be located at Robinsons Galleria’s steel parking lay-by and between Tera Tower and Opus Mall in Bridgetowne Destination Estate.
The Libreng Sakay initiative supports modern, eco-friendly mobility for the public, which will be launched this summer, it added.
