In light of the Undas holidays, also known as the long Halloween weekend, Pasig City is conducting free bus rides from Pasig City Hall to various transport terminals this October 31. The rides begin at 3 pm and continue until 7 pm. The news was announced by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto just yesterday.
