MANILA, Philippines — The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) should compel private operators of the country’s toll roads to resolve various problems affecting motorists before they are allowed to raise fees, two senators said on Monday.
Presiding over a Senate hearing, Sen. Raffy Tulfo recalled how he himself was caught in heavy traffic on the expressways due to the long queues in toll booths and the defective toll collection system.
Tulfo, the new chair of the Senate public services committee, said the problems in the cashless payment schemes of the toll operators had contributed to congestion on expressways and nearby communities.
