Pasig River Ferry Terminals and Schedules

Now here's something interesting and needed to at least offer some relief from Metro Manila's clogged streets: the revived Pasig River Ferry system that should've been resurrected a long time ago. Details of various stations show below:

a total of 15 modern stations currently being built along the river to comprise the new transport system that would cut travel times in more than half particularly from Marikina to Manila

1. Plaza Mexico
2. Escolta
3. Quezon Bridge
4. South Nagtahan
5. PUP
6. Sta. Ana
7. Lambingan Bridge
8. Hulo
9. Valenzuela
10. Guadalupe
11. Bambang
12. Napindan
13. Marcos Bridge
14. Riverbanks
15. Marikina Bridge

this project was planned a long time ago but shelved same number to time. However, this time it's all go judging from the visible construction of modern airconditioned terminals with floating pontoons that go along with the rising and ebbing of the tide of the once pristine and beautiful river that inspired the muses of yore.

something to look forward to heh? :)

UPDATE:

Information (as of March 24, 2007): Only Guadalupe, Hulo and Escolta terminals are completed. Each trip costs P25 (fare) and takes almost an hour only from Guadalupe to Escolta. Ferries are air-conditioned catamarans (double-hulled). Trip schedules are spaced 55 minutes apart starting at 5:30am with last trip at 9:05pm

Please, if you do, count me in. I felt envious of your tour in Cubao. I wanted to do it alone for quite sometime but didn't have the nerve to do it. I hope I was with your group then...

By the way, congrats sa bagong blog template. Maganda (though pleasing pa rin sa mata ko ang black)...

By the way, I had added you to my blogroll. Thanx... :)

From Escolta, what else is there to go and do? I plan ro start early in the morning and explore Escolta vicinity until way over sunset.
At Jan 21, 2010 10:52:00 AM, backpacking philippines said...: itchie, i intended to recommend this to you for you to see malacanang. I have a walking tour of escolta on this blog. from excolta you can walk to binondo, sta cruz and even quiapo or take the LRT to go somewhere
At Apr 22, 2010 7:25:00 AM, Mister E said...: guys, any idea if the Pasig River Ferry is still operational? Got a chance to pass by Guadalupe last Sunday, but the doors are closed. Could it be they are now just operating from Monday to Friday? Please confirm.
