LRMC President and CEO Juan F. Alfonso says the partnership aims to promote the use of public transport as an efficient way of going around Metro Manila. This, as traffic jams appeared to have returned in the metropolis amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

"As we continue to upgrade the transportation system in Metro Manila, we have the opportunity to work together and integrate different modes of public transport for a seamless and convenient experience. We are glad to be partnering with Angkas for this initiative toward making public transit systems work to benefit the lives of our countrymen," Alfonso said during the launch of the new partnership on Wednesday, June 30.

Through this exclusive promotion, the LRMC has designated select LRT-1 stations with visible, easy-to-find signages as official pick-up and drop-off points for commuters using Angkas.

Angkas passengers riding to or from the participating train stations can avail of a P15 discount, valid for three rides, when they use the following codes:

LRT-1 Monumento: LRT1MNMTO

Alfonso said the Angkas discount will be automatically deducted from the final fare during the promo period, which will run from July 1 to October 31.

For his part, Angkas co-founder and chief transport advocate George Royeca has reiterated the company's commitment to partner with the government to provide solutions to commuters' daily woes.

Royeca also thanked the LRMC for recognizing the motorcycle taxi industry as a "strong ally" of commuters in light of traffic and road congestion.

"Angkas will continue to be here to serve the Filipino by providing safe, affordable, and agile transportation. We always look forward to working hand in hand with the government and private sectors so we can give commuters the support they need especially in important transit points like the LRT-1," Royeca said.

"This is another big step toward inclusive mobility and economic recovery," he added.
