The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) offered free rides to solo parents last Saturday, April 26, in celebration of National Solo Parents’ Day.

This initiative joined other rail lines in supporting National Solo Parents Week in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

A total of 28 solo parents availed of the free rides by presenting their solo parent’s ID or solo parent certificate of eligibility at LRT2 stations.

The free rides on both train lines were available during peak hours, from 7 to 9 am, and from 5 to 7 pm.

National Solo Parents’ Day is celebrated every third Saturday of April, as enacted through Republic Act No. 11861, to commemorate the role and significance of every solo parent in the country.
