Kung 4 hours lang ang biyahe niya kahapon edi sobra ang overspeeding niya
tapos traffic pa sa Urdaneta
on the otherhand when I travel to pangasinan using TPLEX let's say last May
it took me 3hrs. w/ my fastest speed of 140kph

No, not really. Baguio is just 250 km away. In 4 hours his average is just a little above 60 kph, which is the normal average speed for expressway driving, including all tollway stops.

Kennon is much faster to traverse downhill than uphill. Also, at 5:30 in the morning you're unlikely to encounter much traffic.

Gone are the days when you had to endure hours of McArthur traffic to get to Baguio.

BTT: I think the most feasible solution is to have ambulant tellers in the gasoline stations along NLEX.

Most people have at least 1 stopover, so while they're lounging off, they could also pay their toll in a kiosk in the station.

MATES in SLEX has actually approached our company regarding this idea. Hopefully it pushes through.

imposible namang ngayon lang dumaan yang si drilon sa mga expressways natin.
napansin lang yan kasi sobra trapik natyempuhan nya.

bilisan nila hearing sa kalagayan ng mrt.
ang traffic sa mga toll gates bearable pa.

may special entry point gate and space sa train sa govt employees ang MRT/LRT kaya hindi masosolusyonan yan...

BCDA plans to link 3 expressways | Inquirer News

Natakot sa senate investigation, kaya kumanta agad. Anak ng teteng galit, this is no rocket science and should have been done at the start. Pero gusto ng mga operators, hawak nila agad pera at ayaw maabala sa partihan, let the motorist suffer.

electronic pass will solve the problem on toll gates

Just make sure that all EPASS sensors are working all the time. Unlike EPASS lane in Canlubang toll plaza northbound, they always use human intervention to up the boom. Mas mabilis pa yung other lanes since no cards are given to motorists. Are government and PPP projects afraid of computerization and automation? EPASS, EC tag, MRT ticketing should be hassle free and yet they are causing inconvenience to the general public. What a lame use of technology!

ang priority nila ay yung affected sila.

kasalanan din naman ng govt kung bakit iba iba ang toll operators eh.

MRT and LRT employees only. otherwise kahit govt employee ka stay in line ka.

Make this mandatory for all vehicles passing expressways. Hindi yun may cash may electronic. Purpose is defeated pag ganyan since ipit yung mga may electronic pass sa likod ng traffic ang ending pipila pa din.

Integrate the north and south expressways. Internal arrangement na lang nung dalawang humahawak paano nila hahatiin kita nila.

Sa marilao exit lang eh? Dalawa lang booth, pag heavy traffic mixed na yun dalawang booth. Balagong din yung mga naka easytrip/ectag dahil wala ng dedicated lane.

well, one has to expect that when faced with an exodus of that magnitude.
the americans have something similar during their own holidays..
we can do a singapore, but it might trigger a civil war.
heh heh.

but yes... there is something strange about tingi-tinging bayaran ng toll fees.. and i feel that "tamad lang silang gawan ng paraan".
