The LRT-2 “libreng sakay” program ended a few days after public elementary and high schools returned to the regular five days of face-to-face classes a week.
saidSome students and parents were also saddened by the end of the program as they said it helped them save money for other immediate expenses.
“Marami nang gastusin sa school and kahit papano nababawasan ang iisipin namin kasi libre siya. Nakakalungkot kasi last day na and sana po talaga napatuloy,” National University student Cristine May Bausin told“Makakatipid sa allowance ng mga bata. kahit papano ‘di ba. Instead na i-burden pa namin ang kanilang fare, so eto na nga, si libreng sakay malaking tulong sa mga parents and estudyante. Dagdag sa baon na lang nila ‘yon,” a parent said in an interview with ABS-CBN.
Students must present a school identification card or proof of enrollment at the Passenger Assistance Office or Ticket Booth to avail of the discount.
