[pepengtom]

paking shet! nakaka-pang init ng dugo ang bagong NLE fee!
unang bagsak, 82php!!! sobrang traffic, wala naman binibigay na tiket.
san simon lang ang punta ko, 82 na agad na dating 25php..
tas pagbalik, nakakagulantang na 124php!
highway robbery na to.. gusto ko magreklamo sa management kagabe.
pero nung pumunta ako sa office, sarado na daw. sabi ng guard balik na lang ako bukas. pakshet siya! another 200 na naman para sa walang kwentang argument!
nakaka highblood na talaga to...
e pano kung ako lang mag-isa at wala mom ko?
500 sa gas + 200 nle fee??
e magkano lang allowance ko, 200 lang yata! san ka pa?! wala ng halaga ung 100 php ko ngayon...

isa tong malaking kalokohan!!!

[alwayz_yummy]

yan ang sinasabi ko sa inyo noon....tignan natin kung sinu pa magsusuporta sa increase nila....

nagmahal gravel and sand namin sa hardware..susunod na ang hallowblocks...

1 sack whitesand namin before the increase is 35 pesos,now its 45 pesos...maraming nagalit na customers namin,a!

wala naman kami magawa kasi nagincrease din ang mga suppliers namin...

magreklmo tayong lahat..public,private....di porket private ang nagmementain,may karapatan na sila sa gusto nilang rate...

SHOW THE PEOPLE THE MNTC's D*** COMPUTATION!

sa dami ng dumadaan dyan sa nlex,mababawi naman nila ang ginastos nila in due time...

at least may magandang ginawa pala MNTC sa NLEX...nabawasan ang traffic WITHIN the tollway!-->kumunti ang dumadadan!!naipit lahat sa tollgate!

the ad says we got 90 days...anu sinu magrereklamo?

[carlocaraddict]

ano ba yan, pati daanan, pineperahan tayo! 200php one way is so painful to the pocket. So pag pupunta kaming pangasinan, 400 pesos agad balikan! So more or less, we are paying 30-40% of our gasoline already. Ang shakit shakit!

The NLEX mgmt keeps on referring to a UP study that says that the savings you get on gasoline and maintenance more than make up for the toll increase... where can we get a copy of this study ? Gusto ko sana i check kung valid yung assumptions and conclusions :-)

This situation was bound to happen. But it was something that i already accepted and dealt with. What will happen is that people who used to go to and from the areas in the North will be forced to find boarding places for the week and only come home on weekends. This will reduce the gasoline usage. Also, companies will now have to use bigger trucks so that they can carry more load and fewer trips.
Lowering the rates and slowing the rate of increase is merely postponing the inevitable. People were already informed of this and yet did not use the time to prepare as they were assuming that the increase wasn't really going to happen. Now that it has really happened, a brief rollback is in order just to give time for those procrastinating people to do their preparations now. As with the MRT, expect a rollback and a gradual increase. This one's just an example to show the public that the company is serious about this.
As for increases in prices, that just shows why our standard of living remains poor as productivity remains low. Any increase in the price of inputs (transportation, wages, raw materials) automatically leads to the increase of price of outputs (products and services) as the systems we are using are not efficient.

I read this before, the main assumption from what i recall is that road conditions is major cause of accidents and improving road conditions will lead to less accidents and therefore less maintenance. As a person who has had his share of hitting unexpected potholes and uneven pavement, i agree with the idea of less maintenance. However, what the study fails to consider is that the improved mileage (no stop and go traffic to waste gas) and maintenance will not be of benefit to daily users as the increase is a variable cost while the maintenance is a fixed cost. Travelling thru the tollway regularly will eventually cost you more due to the multiplier effect.

Coment ko lang sa mga kumakampi dito sa super max increase nila. Siguro di kami tumatangap n kasing laki ng sweldo nyo, di nyo inintidi kaming mga nakakaros lang. Ako palagi ako umuuiw sa prov namin every week, so sa 400++ na balikan x4 1600 n sa isang buwan. tapos gaso pa di ko na kaya mag-pafull tank computed na ang liters sa no. of kilometers travelled back and forth. all in all dito lang napupunta ang maliit n kinikita ko> WAG nyo sabihin na GAS and MAINTENANCE bawi na kami. Kaya nga 2nd na corolla lang binili ko and as far as we know na LOW MAINTENANCE e2 car nato.
Sa mga burgis at elitista alam ko naman parang barya lang sa inyo eto kasi di nyo pinagpapaguran ang kikita nyo araw-araw.
yan muna masasabi ko imsure meron pa ko susunod, wag sana kayong gahaman pinaparusahan nyo naman kami ng sobra. kala ko di kayo lalagpas ng P100, kung sana 100 lang buong stretch ay ok lang sa akin, dinaman tama yang 300%++ increase.

kung iisipin lang sana...ng malawak na pang-unawa


kung pinayagan lang ng gov't ang incremental increase sa pncc every year, hindi sana hahantong sa ganito. since ginawang political instrument ang tool fee, nawala budget for repair and other incidentals. so, naipon ang sira, walang budget pampagawa, which lead to privatization kung irerepair.

look at SLEX, may gagong lawyer na nag-question bakit sakop pa ng pncc ang sukat and alabang? in short, binalik sa gov't. di kinaya ng dpwh ang maintenance kesyo wala sa budget, nagkalubak-lubak, ano ang resulta?

skyway.

magkano hanggang filinvest? 42 pesos diba? (not sure) samantalang piso lang ang tool noon, at unmanned pa ang station, coinbox lang. minsan nga, bala or candy pa ang pinambabayad sa drop box.

its the people who created the need, no need to complain, we deserve this tool fee increase.

[BlueBimmer]

its just inevitable, just like taxes hindi natin maiiwasan to.

I greatly disagree with you. 388%++ increase is not fairly to us midclass society. para syo siguro ok dahil sa class A ka, and I bet mga SUV, large class cars oto mo and recieving more than 5 to 6 digits range of income.
ano ka ba naman ikaw nga lawakan mo nga isip mo you so filty rich kaya di mo problema to.

[alwayz_yummy]

agree ako na may increase but NOT THIS MUCH! makapag-apply nga sa bangko central para laging may pera

Nobody agrees with the increase. Who wants to shell out more for the same service? But you're right, since the government didn't allow the PNCC to reflect the true costs needed for the maintenance and repair of the road, privatization occured with the subsequent higher costs as a company will only invest if it gets a return on its investment. Same thing happened with our power situation and the IPP's.
If it were a government project (without the corruption factor), the costs on the ordinary consumer would be minimal as it would be financed through the taxes we already paid. But as the Macapagal road project shows, it is a pipe dream.

[tagalnasaabroad]

mga walang puso at napakasisiba naman ng operator nyan NLEX nayan..!...pwede naman ireklamo ng mamamayan 'yan sa mga tongresista o snatchernador ng mga probinsyang apektado na hinahagupit ng malabuntot paging pasakit sa pangkaraniwang tao..

magsesemana santa na pala..what a coincidence..

[boybi]

nanghuhuli na ba ang MNTC ng overspeeding? syet, ang bait ko kanina, 110-120kph lang ang takbo ko! kakaantok!
pero in fairness, 1hr ko lang kinuha buong stretch ng NLEX kahit hindi ako lumagpas ng 120kph.

[BlueBimmer]

for those who are gipit, only way is to lessen the frequency of travels nalang. cos it nearly rivals the cost of gasoline.

[alwayz_yummy]

dapat sacrifice............PERO DI GANITO.masakit isiping kumita ako dahil sa maralitang tao!

magawa ko nga kalye dito sa subd namin tapos papatawan ko din LAHAT ng toll fee..20/entry-and-exit

[hagiber]

Sana gawing priority ng national govt ang rehabilitation ng MacArthur highway at saka yung North coastal road to Bataan and Zambales.

[yebo]

dali lang yan. kung ayaw nyo magbayad for the convenience and the safety, daan kayo mcarthur. wag nyo sasabihin na ayaw nyo sa macarthur, nung maliit na bata pa ako dun kami dumadaan. kung kami pwede kami magdaan dun nuon, pwede din kayo dumaan dun ngayon. naalala ko 6 hours mula zambales to manila nuon via macarthur hiway. last year hindi pa tapos ang nlex kinuha ko ang subic in 1 hour 30 minutes.

parang palenke lang yan eh. gusto mo ng mura pero madumi, maputik, hassle, punta ka sa balintawak mura dun. gusto mo ng malinis, convenient, walang putik, punta ka sa sm supermarket. mas mahal ang presyo pero andun ang hanap mo.

so pleeeeaaase! wag mo kaming sisihin at tawagin na elitista kung di mo kaya magbayad. walang umaapi sa iyo dito kaya wag mo kaming awayin ha. kami willing kami magbayad ng mahal basta safe ang byahe namin ok. andyan ang macarthur hiway dun ka dumaan. ako sa nlex ako dadaan. daming tao sa mundo na feeling victim ngayon! diskarte lang yan!
