Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III wants the “Edsa-like” traffic on the NLEX fixed first before burdening motorists with any toll rate increase. | MAgerINQ
“On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of motorists plying the North Luzon Expressway , I appeal for some considerations and reprieve on the proposed increased toll rates,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Any increase at this point would be unjustifiable and unfair to the motorists who have to deal with sometimes EDSA-like traffic on the expressway, specifically from Balintawak to Meycauayan,” Pimentel said. There are at least 280,000 vehicles plying through the major expressway on a daily basis, the senator noted, citing NLEX’s own data.
