Residents of 11 towns in Bataan province will soon have access to free electric shuttle rides connecting municipal halls to The Bunker in Balanga City, the provincial capital. The dry run of the point-to-point Libreng Sakay program began on October 19, 2026, as part of Bataan's e-mobility initiative. Passengers can board the electric buses at designated pick-up points in Morong, Bagac, Dinalupihan, Hermosa, Orani, Samal, Abucay, Pilar, Orion, Limay, and Mariveles towns. The service operates on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., providing a convenient and eco-friendly transportation option for residents. The Libreng Sakay program aims to improve mobility within the province by reducing traffic congestion and promoting sustainable transportation. This initiative is part of a broader e-mobility program designed to transport people from various municipal centers to the provincial government seat. The program's implementation reflects the local government's commitment to enhancing public transportation services while addressing environmental concerns. The electric shuttle service is expected to benefit thousands of residents who rely on daily commutes between their towns and the provincial capital. By offering free rides, the program aims to encourage the use of public transportation and reduce the number of private vehicles on the road. The initiative also aligns with national efforts to promote green transportation solutions and reduce carbon emissions. The Bataan provincial government has emphasized that this program is a significant step toward creating a more sustainable and efficient transportation system for the province. The service is expected to be particularly beneficial for students, workers, and elderly residents who may face challenges with transportation costs and accessibility. The dry run phase will allow officials to assess the program's effectiveness and make necessary adjustments before full implementation. This development marks a positive step in the province's efforts to modernize its transportation infrastructure and improve the quality of life for its residents.
