It's So Obvious - Move The Toll Booth

Comment from a reader on "The Subic Tollbooth Shuffle":

Well, what if you didn't just get off the SCTEX but were entering the SFEX from the "old road"? If that's the case some will pay the toll. But, yes why bother with the card and better yet why any toll for the SFEX at all! What really needs to be done is MOVE the SFEX toll both way down near the "old road" intersection so SCTEX drivers wont encounter it at all.

[The Subic Bulletin] You make two excellent points that we would like to expand on a little:

1) The SFEX is NOT an Expressway, it is just a road, if it was dual carrigeway and dual lane we would have no issue with the toll, BUT ITS NOT! Its not an "SFEX" its just the "Tipo Road", build us a freeway or get rid of the toll.

2) Lets asume you either build the freeway or just continue to be greedy, have the brains to move the toll booth down next to the SCTEX toll booths (big saving on security guards there) or if there is not enough room place it down the bottom of the hill so your only collecting tolls from the traffic not passing the SCTEX and the SCTEX toll both will collect the rest. This seems so obvious to everyone else why do the operators sit around with a bag over their heads???

Don't even think about saying its expensive to move the toll booth because with 90% of the traffic gone your staff costs would cover the move in no time at all.
