The office of Vice President Leni Robredo announced the return of its free shuttle service for health workers, as Metro Manila was placed under the modified enhanced community quarantine starting Tuesday, August 4.

A modified lockdown means that mass transportation would be suspended. Private vehicles, shuttle services, and active transport are the only modes allowed by the government.

The OVP free shuttle is only for health workers and frontliners. To avail of the free ride, a valid ID from a hospital must be presented.

At the station, passengers will need to have their temperatures checked and their hands sanitized with alcohol. They also need to register in a logbook before riding. Social distancing measures will also be in place.
