The Department of Transportation said Tuesday it expects to complete the feasibility study on the Manila Bay-Pasig River-Laguna Lake Ferry System project within the year.
“This is part of the initiative of the President and the First Lady to really enhance the Pasig River and make it really livable again,” he said. Velez said the feasibility study is expected to be completed this year and be offered to the private sector by 2025.“One of the major aspects of the study is the demand. So, before we make important infrastructure investments, similar to our railways or airports, we need to conduct passenger surveys,” he said.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority operates the Pasig River Ferry Service which served 254,333 passengers in 2023 and 46,497 commuters in the first quarter of 2024.
