MMDA suspends Pasig ferry service due to damaged pontoons


After the pontoons of several stations of the Pasig River Ferry Service (PRFS) were damaged by Typhoon “Ulysses”, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Monday (Nov. 16) indefinitely suspended its operations.

Pontoons serve as docking platform for ferry boats of the PRFS.

The MMDA said pontoons in Guadalupe, Hulo, Valenzuela, Pinagbuhatan, and San Joaquin stations were damaged when “Ulysses” battered Metro Manila last week. 

"The safety of the public is our primordial concern. This is why we indefinitely suspended the operations of PRFS," MMDA spokesperson Assistant Secretary Celine Pialago said.
