Students who will take the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (Upcat) can avail of the free ride offered by Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Radyo Singko reported Friday.

MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino said that the agency is all set for the "MMDA-UPCAT Libreng Hatid" project on August 4 and 5, the examination date for all students aspiring to enter the state university.

Pick-up points will be in front of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) building along EDSA near East Avenue and C5-Ortigas Ilalim near the MMDA Rescue Station in Pasig City.

Four trips from the pick-up points to UP Diliman have been scheduled at 4:30 AM, 5:00 AM, 5:30 AM, and 6:00 AM.

However, Tolentino reminded students that seats will be limited. About 60, 000 examiners are expected to take the Upcat.
