DOTr looking into electric ferries, Manila Bay–Pasig River–Laguna Lake ferry route

By the end of the year, the Department of Transportation says it will know the viability of decongesting Metro Manila roads through an east-west ferry system that will connect Manila Bay and Laguna Lake through Pasig River.

“Before we make important infrastructure investments, similar to our railways or airports, we need to conduct passenger surveys,” explained de Velez. “We need to understand how many people will actually use the system. “As we know, we have the North-South Commuter Railway. We have the Metro Manila Subway,” said de Velez. “If you see the maps, those are primarily north-south corridors. We do not have as many as what we call east-west corridors for mass transportation, and the Pasig River naturally is there and it traverses east-west.”
