The best alternate way going around Metro Manila!

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has brought the Pasig River Ferry Service back in operation, serving an alternative way to those traveling in Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati, and Pasig City.



Free Ferry Ride

Addressing the persistent issue of traffic congestion in the country, the national government is actively fulfilling its responsibilities by introducing traffic-alleviating measures, including the provision of free rides on the Pasig River Ferry.

Originally introduced in the 1990s, the Pasig River Ferry service aimed to present a viable alternative mode of transportation for commuters in Metro Manila.

However, financial constraints and operational challenges led to the suspension of the Pasig River Ferry system in 2011.

In a renewed effort to alleviate traffic congestion in the capital region, the Pasig River Ferry stations resumed operations in 2019. The ferry boats are now operated and managed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), marking a significant step in providing commuters with a convenient and efficient mode of transportation.

The service spans a distance of over 26 kilometers and uses seven ferry boats, two of which can carry up to 57 passengers while others are much smaller.
