Hiniling ni Senator Grace Poe ang detalyadong pagpapaliwanag ukol sa agarang pagtaas sa singil sa paggamit ng North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).
If these were periodic adjustments from more than a decade ago, the Toll Regulatory Board must explain why it only approved it now in one big swoop,” aniya.
Diin niya ang pangangatuwiran at hindi dapat nakabase lamang sa Public-Private Partnership kundi maging sa datos ng trapiko.
“Is the expressway really providing express service? Is the convenience provided equal to what is being charged?” tanong ng senadora.
Aniya maaring panahon na para pag-aralan ng gobyerno ang “dynamic pricing.”
Hindi dapat aniya itinataas ang singil kung mababa ang kalidad ng serbisyo.
“I urge the Toll Regulatory Board to look into this matter in a different perspective and make considerations for the end-users. We pay tolls for a faster journey – that is exactly why it is called an expressway. We should approve toll fees in the same speeds that the expressway affords its users,” sabi pa ni Poe.
