Commuters from the still flooded towns of Taguig, Pasig, and Taytay have lauded the efficient service being rendered by the Pasig River Ferry boats.

For almost three years now, the Pasig ferry boats have been of great help to the commuters, mostly employees and students.

“Pasig River Ferry is a big help to students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) who live in Taguig, Pasig , Taytay, Makati, Mandaluyong, and Sta. Ana, Manila.’’

Employees as well are spared from the daily nerve-wracking traffic snarls.

“Our children and visitors enjoy the sight seeing trip,’’ one mother said. “I get all the convenience, comfort in travelling through the river everyday going to Divisoria,’’ a businessman claimed.

The Pasig River Ferry offers clean, air-conditioned ships, and courteous crew members.

One can just sit, relax and enjoy watching movies until he /she reaches the station.

Most of the passengers are from the typhoon-affected areas of Taguig and Pasig. They said that travelling on boat is a good alternative for commuters.

They urged the ferry’s management to impose safety measures. “Pasig Ferry boats have helped us relieved of the worse traffic condition especially in going to Pasig , but may we ask the management to always exercise safety measures and field additional fleets and maintain its laudable service.’’ (Daisy Lou Talampas)
