MPT South to Intensify Operations for 2022 Holiday Rush

Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road development arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), will be placed on heightened alert for the expected motorist surge on the upcoming holiday rush.

With the holidays fast approaching, the toll road operator foresees a 10-15% increase in traffic volume this December 2022 for its two concession expressways, Manila- Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) including its C5 Link segment, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).

MPT South will reinforce “Safe Trip Mo, Sagot Ko” the motorist assistance program mobilized during holiday peaks across its high-speed road networks. For CAVITEX and C5 Link, this will be done in partnership with its joint-venture partner, Philippine Reclamation Authority through its operating subsidiary, PEA Tollways Corporation (PEATC). Starting 6AM of December 23, 2022 until 6AM of December 26, 2022 and 6AM of January 1, 2023 until 6AM of January 3, 2023, under the program, towing service for Class 1 vehicles is free up to the nearest exit. It will intensify 24/7 customer service and will augment additional manpower on grounds such as RFID lane assist, ambulant tellers in cash lane, and traffic operations personnel. Emergency medical service and incident response team will also be on standby 24/7. During this period, construction works along the main line will also be suspended, except for emergency repairs.

Moreover, MPT South is also rewarding its loyal motorists through the MPTC-wide raffle promo ‘Download, Drive, and Win.’ The promo is open to all individual prepaid Class 1, 2, and 3 expressway users of CAVITEX, CAVITEX C5 Link, CALAX, NLEX, SCTEX, and CCLEX.
