The ferry service was relaunched on Monday, December 9. In a statement, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Danilo Lim said the free ferry transportation program could entice commuters to take the ferry service instead of public utility vehicles along Metro Manila roads. "Expect better services with additional safe and speedy boats, rehabilitated ferry stations and additional personnel," Lim said.
This boosted the number of ferry boats up to 7, with 2 boats able to carry 57 passengers each, 3 boats supporting 36 passengers each, and another 2 can carry 16 each.
