MANILA, Philippines — The Pasig City government is considering offering free rides as a week-long transport strike looms due to the planned phaseout of traditional jeepneys nationwide. Vice Mayor Robert Jowarski Jr. revealed this Wednesday, explaining that: “The national government has come out with directives and we, the local government of Pasig will need to follow. But we will talk about possible interventions that can be done within the LGU. Maybe we would try to provide some free rides for it from communities to the drop-offs.”He said he will speak with Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto about the matter, but no promises are being given about the free rides.
Jowarski then expressed hope that an amicable solution will be reached so the transport strike will not push through since the commuting public will be adversely affected.
