DOTr Secretary Art Tugade said the program benefitted commuters, medical frontliners, and other essential workers amid the high prices of oil in the country.
Tugade said “Libreng Sakay” program also aims to give livelihood and incentives to public drivers and operators while providing commuters with safe public transportation. – gb
