The good thing about the toll fee increase is that it’s not as big as many might have thought or feared.

It’s worth noting that this toll fee increase is the second Tranche of the provisionally approved 2018 and 2020 Consolidated Periodic Toll Rate Adjustments for the MCX.
The Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway spans 4.00 kilometers with 2X2 Lane road from the Junction of Daang Reyna and Daang Hari in Las Piñas/Bacoor Cavite to South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), as entry and exit from the northbound and southbound lanes of SLEX, traverses the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) Reservation.
Expressways and those who own its concessions do need to find funds for maintenance and upkeep, and toll fee increases like this are unavoidable. At least it isn’t that big of an adjustment, yes?
