MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will deploy free rides along Commonwealth-Litex in Quezon City to address commuter woes due to lack of public utility buses in the area. 

 

In a statement sent to reporters, MMDA Chairman Romando Artes said that the agency would deploy six buses and two military trucks to accommodate stranded passengers every morning, from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and ferry the commuters to Welcome Rotonda. 

 

Over the past week, reports from commuters have flooded social media showing droves of commuters stranded along Commonwealth Avenue while waiting for public transportation, which was limited due to the sudden rains.
