San Miguel Corp. said Monday it rolled out a bicycle program for employees to provide an alternative mode of transportation amid the limited public transportation.

SMC president Ramon Ang said the program was prompted by a surge in demand for bicycles among employees as the company continued to safely bring the back to work to continue essential operations.

The program enables them to avail of bicycles and safety helmets at almost giveaway prices.

A bicycle ranges from P2,000 to P3,000 for high-quality, feature-laden bicycles—which they can then pay for with no interest for 12 months. The bulk of the cost for the bicycles is shouldered by SMC.

“Right now, our transportation system is still limited, and we see that more of our employees are biking to work. So we thought to provide them new bicycles. We bought an initial 1,500 units for our facilities in different locations. Almost as soon as we offered them, all were taken. We are now waiting for more units to make available to more employees in more areas,” Ang said. Darwin G. Amojelar
