SLEX Alabang traffic

[CVT]

a friend that commutes daily between Biñan and Makati says they now always take the at-grade level going home to Biñan. The skyway is always worse now daw.

Skyway South is bad because of the queue at toll plaza and only two lanes after that....

Slex South will be more tolerable as the number of lanes is reduced from 3 before Sucat to 2 somewhere after that, all the way to the Alabang viaduct...

Going south to Mamplasan, where is traffic flow more tolerable / faster? At-grade level or Skyway level? I'm getting conflicting advise. Some say at-grade, some say skyway (if steel ramp is open). What's the verdict, good sirs?

Going south:

Weekdays - before 12noon, try your luck at the skyway; 12noon to 4pm - Slex or sky; after 4pm, try your luck at Slex
Saturday - good luck
Sunday - your choice of luck

exactly. lalo na pag madaming truck, like today. makati to atc was 52 minutes on the at-grade level, but we exited at sucat and took the west service road again. we exited at sucat because the bottleneck was just too crap. we also pretty much stayed on the right-most lane from bicutan. pero di ko lang naisip na tignan... saan ba yun bottleneck? could we have re-entered slex right away or farther down pa yun bottleneck?

EDIT: to add, sa northbound direction, traffic starts at san pedro area na before caltex when i passed by an hour ago.

Thank you sir. Will most likely go skyway on Monday then. Hope lady luck will smile on me.
