Generally speaking, it’s considered bad form to suck face on public transportation, particularly in socially conservative countries like the Philippines, but perhaps lovers get a little extra leeway on St. Valentine’s Day, because the Manila Light Rail Transit is offering free tickets to couples bringing the romance today.
A spokesperson announced this week that the LTR would be offering books of seven tickets to five lucky couples on Valentine’s Day that “showed romance.” No definition was offered for exactly what that might mean, but LTR employees would be prowling lines 1 and 2 between 6a.m. and 8 a.m. to find some deserving lovebirds.
Personally, I don’t think romance is possible that early in the morning, but congrats to the lucky winners anyway!
