MMDA昨日对MMDA的河运渡轮原型进行了测试运行，该渡轮将用于沿25公里长的帕西格河运送通勤者。如果一切顺利，我们预计到2014年4月可投入约40艘此类混合动力渡轮。
尽管该服务因财务亏损而在 2011 年未能成功，但今年将重新启用，作为缓解马尼拉大都会交通拥堵的一部分措施，以应对同期进行的主要道路施工。
该渡轮混合动力船最初是一艘加装了巴士座椅的拖船，现可容纳多达 40 人。一旦该项目推进并将于今年四月投入运营，乘客只需支付极低的票价即可搭乘途经马尼拉、马卡蒂、曼达永和帕西格市的渡轮。
希望这些渡轮的重新实施有助于缓解我们目前面临的拥堵状况——尤其是在高峰时段。据报道，该河道的宽度相当于10条车道，若能加以有效利用，并配合高效的系统，我个人认为他们在此事上正在做一件非常出色的工作。
公众是否选择乘坐渡轮，完全取决于他们自己，因为此前的投诉包括对帕西格河难闻气味的不满。
mas gugusthin ko pang sumakay duns a pasig river ferry system na bubuhayin na daw uli,airconditioned pa d mo maaaamoy ung baho ng ilog pasig.
ok ung ferry system kaso dapat sana aircon at affordable kase bago ka makarating sa paroroonan mo kasing amoy mu na ang ilog Pasig sad to say :/
waw.. tugboat na nilagyan ng mini bus sa ibabaw! waw lang.. tignan nyo ichura ng mga maliliit na ferry sa ibang bansa.. anu ba yan.. san na napupunta tax namen..
The Ferry system is a good way to cut down travel time. Skyway 3 construction within 3 years? Or maybe 5? If I have more than 90 Billion pesos right now, I will single handedly pay those workers to do Hazard work & the construction time will be reduced to 15 months. If this Skyway Construction Project was written into a novel, then a movie that goes straight to VCD, DVD, & BLU-RAY; I would hate to see it! “Perwisho to!”
Nasan na kaya yung mga dating ferry?
This is a very nice project, could be a great way to improve land-based traffic problems.
“It’s just up to the public if they would ride the ferries as previous complaints include that unpleasant Pasig River smell.” – Di naman na ganun kabahao ang amoy ng pasig ngayon compared before, anyway bago kaya ang mga ferries na gagamitin dito?
too cramped, too heavy, too inconvenient, too slow, too dumb.
A mini bus installed in a medsize boat w/ large marine diesel.
I don’t think it’s quite efficient and profitable.
Compare other places in PH with ferry system like Cebu. other ferry boats have A/C & TV
