    Ang problema sa coastal ay mahirap malaman sa malayo kung sa tamang toll booth ka naka pila. Paliko kasi kaya hirap maestimate kung exact lane ka na ba. Dapat sa malayo pa lang ay may road sign & divider para ma pilitan ang driver na pumila sa tama hindi mag ra rambulan/singitan kung kailan malapit na ang booth.

    May nilagay silang road markings dati pero hindi naman nila inupdate. Dapat siguro maglagay sila ng numbers na lang sa bawat lane tapos may mga malaking karatula along the way para malaman kung saan koresponde ang numbers.

    Hirap din akong tumingin kung nasa tamang lane na nga ba ako. Parang pabago-bago pa ang designation ng cash, rfid at etap lanes.

    agree.
    the problem with these toll terminals, is that the road curves. if one is not a frequent user, it is impossible to "line up to the correct tollbooth" early on.
    they were probably designed many years ago, when vehicle density was not a conceivable issue.

    yes the road curves to the left for the reason that the toll plaza is dynamically adjusted based on the traffic demand... meaning it can add more toll gates to its left side if needed for a certain traffic direction...

    so if the left side is dynamically being changed/adjusted, then we go to the constant right side to implement the prepaid toll booths, but unfortunately the right most side is RESERVED FOR GOVERNMENT VEHICLES! yey government!

    so what do we do? share this govt lane with etap,rfid and prepaid loading be strictly offsite (via payment centers like bayad center, sm and the likes, atms, credit cards, etc)

    or we modify the toll gate to the dual design used by SLEX... CONS, additional operating COST passed to consumers!

    madami kasing galit sa mahal daw ng tollgate ang kaya ung iba pag ka abot ng resibo tinatapon din pagka lampas ng tollgate.kaya sobrang kalat dati..pero ngayon ok naman na.ang problema ngalang ung tollbooth na dapat mong bayaranpag tabihin lang nila ung RFID-ETAP-LOADING .sigurado walang nang malilito kung saan sila dapat pumila.kaso naka gitna pa sa RFID at ETAP ung RELOADING kaya nag kaka ipit ipit..ok na sana..


    tanong ko lang. pag kumuha ba ako ng RFID sa coastal express eh pwede rin ba siya sa NLEX at SLEX or sa lahat ng expressway?

    bawal. pero mura lang naman yung RFID. 200 pesos lang for the sticker.

    i like that slex scheme. i always use the "other tollgate". it's always less congested than "the main".

    twice last week it seemed that their rfid readers/sensors were having trouble reading their stickers. it took several mins for them cavitex peeps to sort the kinks out. if i'm not mistaken it was the headlight version of their tags w/c were causing their "eyes" some problems
