POLL: Waive SLEX toll fees from Nichols to Alabang until Skyway Construction Ends

[batang_raon14]

I feel your pain, too, bro BR14. Nadale na rin ako rito a couple of times last week. Sa tulay pa lang ng C5 merging with SLEX,- wala nang galawan ang traffic.... At walang pakialam ang mga enforcers lalo na sa mga sasakyang kinukuha ang righmost lane at sasaksak na lang bigla sa pass-thru lane sa may Bicutan exit. Mga trucks pa ang mga d*muh*!!!

8000:borg1:

Noticed that din Sir - mas malulupit pa nga trucks sa gitgitan. Di man lang nacharge ng violations or anything.

pwede bang all the way hanggang dulo ng SLEX? sobrang tagal na ng umpisahan ito! hindi na natapos ang pinagagawa nila! napakadelikado pang dumaan ng SLEX. sayang ang bayad. dumaan na ko ng madaling araw, southbound pa at napakahaba ng traffic sa may last tollgate ng SLEX

Ewan ko lang Sir, pero it's a real sign that they should give management and control of the road to an entity that can really deliver.

i noticed yesterday while on the bus manila bound from mamaplasan, traffic tends to build up after 630am sucat area pa lang. And heading home naman southbound bus (left the office around 4pm) basta makapasok ka sa slex ng before 5pm ok pa sya whether skyway or ilalim. My officemate who left our kalaw office past five arrived home around 7pm sa soldiers muntinlupa, not bad for a commuting person. Having an epass on those period helps a lot, wag ka lang abutan ng rush hour.

Noticed dun yung mga non-rush hour periods actually exist and do have free-flowing traffic. Pero pag obligado ka talaga dumaan on rush hours due to a trip or two, no choice talaga Chief.

Siyanga pala mga chief, dito ako Skyway ngayon. Same damn thing! To my frustration pinarada ko na lang sasakyan dito sa shoulder at magtsi-tsikot na lang ako. Mga buwisit twice in a week is just too much!

am for paying toll (yun nga lang, lower/discounted fee dapat)

last time they made it free, anarchy reigned. small motorcycles started to use the tollway, jeepneys dropped off passengers along the expressway (chicken wire fences were destroyed to allow these jeepney riders to get off wherever they wanted), stalled vehicles don't get towed, etc. i found it more dangerous to drive without tollway control.

i agree, that they could do better but considering the alternative, i'd rather pay to keep these from happening.

UPDATE: well, the rain stopped and traffic's gone smoother somehow during the rush hours. Tolerable na kahit paano as compared as nung pinost ko 'to.

^^^ Bro.,- just yesterday afternoon at around 5PM, traffic at C5 merging with SLEX Southbound is backed up to the Tenement Building area..... Marami na nga akong na-encounter na mga sasakyan na nag-U-turn na......

It's bound to get worse before it gets better.....

Nothing worse than taking skyway southbound, in an attempt to avoid the deadly traffic build up usually starting sa may C5 - SLEX point, and then while passing by over that point, you notice na maluwag na pala sa baba (*gandammit!!* 90 bucks toll fee down the drain...)

Oh but wait, there is something much worse pala!! TRAFFIC DIN SA SKYWAY building up about 1km away from Bicutan skyway exit!! *#%*$!!!!

(actually, i'm just surprised to see 2 "NO" votes on the poll...probably people who haven't traveled south yet? or employees of SLEX group?)

Oh but wait, there is something much worse pala!! TRAFFIC DIN SA SKYWAY building up about 1km away from Bicutan skyway exit!! *#%*$!!!!

Ilang beses na nangyari sakin na traffic builds up a little after paying the toll fee at skyway *$%($(*$^%. May isang instance pa nakita ko yung bridge sa c5 maluwag Inisip ko na lang at least less gitgitan sa Skyway.

sana matapos na nga at hanggang alabang lang din naman yan, but i'm sure they will be building new tollexit at sucat interchange and alabang for skyway users living on that area, that will be a additional burden though.

[wavecxs]

grabe na traffic lately, di na kaya 2 hours san pedro-ortigas. I strongly feel cheated paying toll but i don't have any choice, do I? lately dami na private vehicles using the service road so that's not a good option anymore.

ano kaya magagawa para ma force sila na i-reduce to 50% (or to a reasonable amount) yung toll fee from alabang to bicutan (where the problem areas are). sobrang parusa na sa motorista yung construction, it was poorly planned. hindi naman tama na tayong mga nagbabayad pa ang magdusa sa kapalpakan nila, di ba?

^mag oganize ka ng protest rally, then harangan niyo yun mga toll booths sabihin niyo hinde kayo magbabayad....

[wavecxs]

...are you serious?... or are you being sarcastic?
