SAN MIGUEL CORP. (SMC) unit Skyway O&M Corp. is set to open on Jan. 26 its newly completed runway toll plaza in Skyway. In a statement, SMC said that the new toll plaza, consisting of three lanes dedicated to faster Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system and four cash lanes, is designed to better handle increased traffic volume, by facilitating faster toll collection. “At Skyway, traffic volume is a reality we all have to contend with. But for our part, we continue to look for ways to manage traffic better. This new toll plaza is an enhancement to the Skyway that we initiated in order to facilitate more efficient toll collection. With dedicated ETC lanes and Cash lanes that can accommodate more tellers per lane, we’re hoping to improve traffic throughput at the toll plazas,” Ramon S. Ang, president of SMC, said in a statement SMC however acknowledged that the transition to a modified system might cause some delay and confusion. — P.P.C. Marcelo
