A joint project of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA)and Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), with funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Pasig River Ferry Service project aims to provide alternative means of transportation, and at the same time, "enhance the image and status of the Pasig River as an important artery in Metro Manila's growing inter-modal transport system," as stated in the project's terms of reference.
To date, there are only 3 operational stations located in Guadalupe, Hulo (Mandaluyong) and Escolta. More stations are currently being constructed for better accessibility. All in all, there will be 17 stations, stretching to Marikina, Laguna de Bay and Manila Bay.
