Noticed this a while ago upon using SS3.
Upon Entry sa Araneta Avenue southbound toll booth, nagdededuct na pala siya ng 160+php on the spot. Nung nag exit ako Buendia, nagdeduct siya remaining 130+php.
However, in the Northbound Direction, no deduction upon entry sa Buendia tollbooth. They just display your current balance sa Autosweep. Upon exit sa Araneta tollbooth deduct na niya yung full amount.
Not sure why ganun current implementation sa southbound SS3. Iniisip ko na baka to give chance sa may low balance na magpatopup via mobile banking/mobile wallet app (Gcash, paymaya etc) while enroute sila southbound? But it doesn't make sense na may "chance" to reload enroute while on SS3 yung southbound, but yung northbound wala?
Medyo curious lang ako why such a system was put in place. A curiosity lang.
Most likely I misremembered the exact digits on the display as I only took a quick glance. After I typed those two separate figures, I just told myself, "yeah, total 264 thereabouts". hehe. Still haven't received my Autosweep SOA but I should by the end of the month via email or early next month.
My bad on the incorrect figures. But I really saw 1XX being deducted upon exit at Buendia this morning, not 264. Unless the scanner already picked up the toll for the car behind me? But there isn't an entry yet for Southbound between Quezon Avenue Araneta and Buendia right?
ah ok.
for a while there, i thought mas mataas pa ang sinisingil...
heh heh.
when i tried it out a few days ago,
"invalid" daw ang aking account.
i complained, "how can it be invalid, when i have been using it for months now in skyway...?"
folks, do i have to re-enroll it it for SS3?
Puede bang mag renew ng autosweep sa skyway 3 toll booths? I've just lost my autosweep card and it's RFID was damaged due to a mistake by cleaning a windshield.
eto sana skyway ang solusyon sa trapik, kaso cant afford ng ordinaryong pilipino kaya ba trapik ulet sa edsa?
I've mentioned this multiple times na, kaya sensya na kung paulit ulit.
IMO, "Ordinaryong Pilipino" commutes.
And Stage 3 allows those who uses carpool (colorum transport) to have an alternate road other than C5 and EDSA.
Sa office na lang namin... more than half ng staff uses a carpool service they found on Facebook to commute everyday to work.
i agree.
it's expensive.
but those whose time is more expensive, will bite.
the commoners below, will benefit, albeit indirectly, with the resulting diminution of their traffic.
the ultimate solution to NCR traffic,
is to make living and working outside NCR, attractive.
that means, transplantation of work opportunities and residences, outside NCR.
