SLEX bad trip

**dondonposadas** · September 21st, 2011 10:21 PM

Had almost the same experience with you TS. My car's right front tire run over a screw last week before I reached the calamba exit. These things don't happen at NLEX where I pass twice daily. I think the people behind SLEX do not care about their roadworthy despite of their whooping 300% increased.

^just last month, my car's left front tire ran over a small screw at NLEX. My truck is sporting 20s" so there were some air leak.

Yes, sh!t happens in SLEX.

in my case, i had a flat tire at STAR expressway just after passing Lipa exit on my way to Batangas. the STAR patrol (roving patrol) were immediately at the scene and they did change the tire for me (considering that it was around noon time and the weather was too hot)

gave them a hundred bucks as a token of gratitude (though they never asked for any

)

Girl ka po ba? naitanong ko lang. baka sa babae lang sila nagchachange ng tire for. kung standard practice that they can change the tire then that would be great. nakakahiya man aminin, di ako marunong magpalit ng gulong hahaha never pa naman ako na flatan sa loob ng expressway. pero naimagine ko na na baka ipatow lang ako ng patrol boys pag nakita ako sa tabe ng highway. pede naman pala sila pakiusapan magpalit hehe

twice na ko naflatan on provincial roads. twice i had to call home and asked to send someone to get me and change the tires. loser haha

OnT: NLEX is 10x better than slex. pati safety practices as simple as laying of cones e wordclass standard sa nlex. they follow certain length and approach on how to "latag" the cones. unlike sa slex tutok ang cones. biglang may cones na lang sa gitna ng highway. stupid talaga. walang commonsense. tsk tsk

The patrol vehicles are there to provide any means of assistance when needed. The sooner a disabled vehicle can be repaired or removed, the safer it is for the public and the better for traffic flow.

ganun na rin ngayon sa SLEX...baka na timing lang na walang patrol sa TS, 'coz I always see na pag meron nasiraan eh meron patrol car sa likod tapos naglalagay ng mga plastic cones.

ouch naman yan TS! but i agree napakadilim sa slex talaga. kakagaling lang namin ng wife ko sa tagaytay kagabi the whole time i was driving naka highbeam ata ako hehe. for the price of 157 PHP toll fee from C5-Eton, ripoff!!!!!

**jmpet626** · September 23rd, 2011 05:59 AM

Dapat lighted na yung mga ilaw dahil nagtaas na yung toll fee

Maraming ginagawa sa tulay ng Alabang. Baka isa ito sa kanilang ginamit na weights.

O, pinangkalang ng isang truck na tumirik, sa ibabaw ng tulay....

Ni wala man lang naglagay ng bato sa tabi ng kalye...

The condition of SLEX between Alabang and Carmona has really gone quite bad for so long now and yet SLEX has not been doing anything about it and the TRB does not seem to be doing its job of requiring SLEX to properly maintain the road. After all, what is the toll fee for? When it comes to toll fee increases the TRB is very expeditious in settling things in favor of SLEX, but it all ends there. Even the VAT has been passed on to the poor motorists. We certainly deserve the kind of road that we are paying to use, not the dilapidated road that it is now.
