“Ano sasabihin ko sa counter? Isa nga ticket para sa bading (What will I say at the counter? One ticket for a homosexual)?” wrote one netizen on the DOTr’s post about free rides on the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 (MRT-3) as well as on Light Rail Transit Line 2 and LRT Line 1.

Another netizen wrote, “Free rides with judgment ang atake (their angle of attack requires judgment).”
