The increase when the construction is all over is more like 600%... and that's just adjusting for inflation daw... so after this, may additional increases pa yata...

Mahal na talaga ng toll dyan...kaya hindi na tuloy ako makapagbakasyon sa bulacan dahil sa toll dyan
Kawawa din bus dyan dahil aabot hanggang P400 ang kanilang toll fee nila from balintawak hanggang dulo na..

Sana naman pagnatapos na lahat yung ginagawa dyan eh may ilaw na ang daanan hindi tulad ng SLEX nagtitipid ng ilaw lalo na kapag rush hour sa gabi kala mo brownout..

Feeling ko marami ang mag-rereklamo sa toll-increase ng NLT sa december.

As usual bus operators will file a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), and have it bring down by a couple of centavo per kilometer. Kasama na yung price increase nila ang buffer. Alam na kasi ng MNTC (take note, hindi na PNCC) na ibababa pa nila ang price. Kaya papayag sila na magbaba ng kaunti para sa kapakanan ng mga gagamit.

Pagkatapos nun... tatahimik na ang mga operators kasi nga naman nagbaba ng toll prices. Ang hindi nila alam, mas malaki pa rin ang kinikita at hinahakot ng presidente ng kumpanya at union.

Yung latest balita nga is that slightly lower yung rates per kilometer nung provincial buses, pero slightly higher ngayon yung sa private vehicles to compensate for the loss of revenue sa public vehicles.

Pare, kumporme ako dyan, hehehe.

I use the North Luzon tollways almost everyday for 5 years. Alam ko ang condition ng tollways before the reconstruction. 4-lane highway now compared to only 2 before, dilapidated pa and terribly dangerous kung uulan. Ma-aawa ka sa sasakyan mo sa dami at lalim ng potholes!

I experienced the many highs and lows of that highway, including the first traffic standstill during reconstruction which lasted for almost 8-hours due to flood. If you only use the NLEX once in a while you'll probably not appreciate the improvements. Kahit nag-taas na ng toll fee ang NLEX, di hamak na mas mura pa rin 'yan kesa sa toll fee sa SLEX for the same distance. Kung pwede nga lang huwag ng mag-increase, hehehe.

Tama yung sabi ng isang Tsikoteer. Milyones ang gastos dyan. It's only fair na bumawi naman yung investors for the benefit they invested. Pero yung fair toll fee, huwag naman taga!
