Report: Sen. Drilon calls for inquiry on toll-gate traffic congestion

[nori]

well, one has to expect that when faced with an exodus of that magnitude.
the americans have something similar during their own holidays..
we can do a singapore, but it might trigger a civil war.
heh heh.

but yes... there is something strange about tingi-tinging bayaran ng toll fees.. and i feel that "tamad lang silang gawan ng paraan".

it's not that those in control are "tamad gawan ng paraan", sa tingin ko dahil hindi naman cost effective at feasible yung all-rfid/tag system. masyado lang maarte yang mga senador, ayaw naiipit sa traffic kaya ganyan agad ang bukambibig.

not everyone who owns a vehicle passes by either expressway on a daily or weekly, no - make that monthly basis. ako personally i make around 2-3 round trips on NLEx and 5-6 round trips on SLEx annually. and those are peak seasons pa.

waiting in line for 1-3 minutes everytime i use the expressways is more efficient that purchasing those tags which costs thousands. iba pa ang tags ng north at south.

BUT if i can use the same tag to use the LRT/MRT system maybe i'd consider buying one. hehehe

i dont remember any senator complaining about the NLEx traffic during the centenary of the INC.

your hehehe is actually what i had in mind. an octopus card of sorts.. a debit card..
it just needs someone high enough upstairs, or with a lot of foresight.. maybe it hasn't yet dawned on them that a few centavos multiplied by a million isn't chickenfeed anymore..

It also took us 11 hours to get to get to Baguio from Alabang, we probably spent 3 hours in tollgates and another 2 in the traffic in Sison.

It took us a brisk 5.5 hours to get home without any shenanigans

Make this mandatory for all vehicles passing expressways. Hindi yun may cash may electronic. Purpose is defeated pag ganyan since ipit yung mga may electronic pass sa likod ng traffic ang ending pipila pa din.

Integrate the north and south expressways. Internal arrangement na lang nung dalawang humahawak paano nila hahatiin kita nila.

Sa marilao exit lang eh? Dalawa lang booth, pag heavy traffic mixed na yun dalawang booth. Balagong din yung mga naka easytrip/ectag dahil wala ng dedicated lane.

here in au optional ang epass, but all major highways lahat may sensors and camera..pag wala kang etag you will be charge triple, but within 3days kailangan mo ireport para yung normal charge lang...yung etag mo may $40 load...pag naubos it will automatically widraw from your nominated bank account..hassle free..no traffic sa mga toll boot...btw callcentre pala is from PH..hehehe..tumawag kasi ako before to report na may sira epass ko...

Couldn't agree more.

Just make sure that all EPASS sensors are working all the time. Unlike EPASS lane in Canlubang toll plaza northbound, they always use human intervention to up the boom. Mas mabilis pa yung other lanes since no cards are given to motorists. Are government and PPP projects afraid of computerization and automation? EPASS, EC tag, MRT ticketing should be hassle free and yet they are causing inconvenience to the general public. What a lame use of technology!

^iwas pusoy mga politiko pag involved taong simbahan.

How about integrating all E-pass tags. Coastal road, SLEX, NLEX, Tplex, etc. Majority naman siguro ng motorist gumagamit ng kahit isang express way.

[jut703]

Personally kaya hindi ako nag-EC Tag is because hindi ko mamonitor yung trips. I reimburse my business travels per trip - pag EC Tag kasi buong statement lang diba?

Masyadong reactive talaga mga pulitiko natin

Personally, ang tollgate congestion ay pwede maayos kung lahat ng tollbooth ay gumagana at lahat ng tao ay ready na ang kanilang bayad. Madalas kasi, pag nandun na sa tollbooth, tsaka palang nagprepreapre ng bayad. Mas madalas nagkakatagalan sa pagbayad eh yun class 2 and 3 vehicles.

This year, ang gripe ko eh ang exit ng NLEX going to EDSA Balintawak. This year ko lang napansin na palaging traffic ang side na yan. Then after naman ng Balintawak market eh smooth flowing na.

Exactly the same problem with Nepa-Q Mart, and all other markets situated along main thoroughfares - trucks unloading goods, buses loading passengers, shoppers double parking, and so on.

Di ko gets bakit ayaw patulan ng MMDA yung mga yan, sobrang easy target for obstruction of traffic kung 3 lanes na sinasakop nila.

Toll-free holidays eyed to avoid congestion at tollgates | Inquirer News

Sumali na rin sa pangingikil si Tito Escalera. Kung wala ng PDAF, kailangan maghanap ng ibang racket. Eh kung tanggalin na lang kaya mga sweldo at allowances ng mga tongressman at senatong, tutal wala din naman silang silbi eh.

Yung trapik sa EDSA, sinong kokotongan natin Tito ? Yung trapik ng opening ng Phil Arena, sino kokotongan natin senatong?
