After two weeks operation and free ferry services to the public, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) released the fare matrix for the Pasig River ferry service.

According to MMDA, the fare rate will take effect Friday, May 16, 2014.

From Pinagbuhatan in Pasig City to Guadalupe, Makati City (vice versa) a passenger will be charged P50.

Passengers from Guadalupe to PUP, Escolta or Plaza Mexico, all in Manila and vice versa, will be charged P50.

Meanwhile, from PUP to Escolta (vice versa) and Escolta to Plaza Mexico (vice versa) passengers will be charged P30.

The Pasig River Ferry system was re-launched last April 28 to serve as an alternative solution to Metro Manila’s traffic problems due to the number of road works. It also aims to boost tourism in Metro Manila and for disaster and rescue purposes.

This alternative mode of transportation is in partnership with the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) and the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC). (MMDA/RJB/JEG/PIA-NCR)
