With the help of Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), more regions were given the same plan for the hospital frontliners.

Medical workers coming from Ninoy Aquino Stadium, Rizal Memorial Stadium, Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), and World Trade Center are also included in the service.

The DOTr also caters dedicated service vehicles for other “We Heal as One Centers” around Metro Manila, which can be found at Filinvest Alabang, Philippine Sports Complex in Pasig, and Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City.

Frontliners may track the buses’ current locations by visiting Sakay.ph or from Sakay PH’s downloadable mobile app. Using Google Maps will make checking and availing of free rides easier for them as well.

Toll fees to all expressways in Luzon are remains free of charge for all medical frontliners as approved by the toll operators from the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) 

Phoenix Petroleum, CleanFuel, and Petron continues their respective partnerships with the program, giving fuel subsidy to the participating transport companies.
