Skyway O&M, operator of the Skyway system and a unit of San Miguel Corp.’s SMC Infrastructure, expects more seamless movement along the new Skyway Stage 3 with the implementation of measures to avoid congestion on access and exit points following the first day of toll collection on the elevated expressway.
These measures resulted in faster throughput of vehicles even at high-volume toll plazas just a day later.
“It’s unfortunate that many motorists were caught in traffic last Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience. While this was not totally unexpected on the first day of toll collection, for our part, we know we have to do better. Hopefully, with the measures we put in place, traffic conditions will continue to improve and normalize,” said SMC president Ramon Ang.
“Our Skyway teams are always on the ground, and we monitor our expressways via cameras 24/7. If there’s any issue, we can respond and make corrective measures very quickly,” he said.
