Tolentino leads MMDA Ferry Boat inauguration
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Francis Tolentino led the inauguration of a new commuter boat for its Pasig River Ferry System, on September 16, to further promote the ferry service as an alternate mode of transportation. “All in all, we now have a total of 11 operational ferries in our fleet. These will service passengers along Pasig River, which stretches
from Pinagbuhatan in Pasig City up to Plaza Mexico in Manila. I am optimistic that this will further boost commuter patronage,” Tolentino said. The new fiberglass ferry has a maximum capacity of 45 passengers, crew included, can travel up to 12 knots. At present, the ferry service has 11 stations which include Pinagbuhatan, See TOLENTINO, page A11
