TOLLWAY operators in the south are well-prepared for the expected exodus of motorists and commuters going to provinces south of Metro Manila in observance of the Holy Week. The Skyway O&M Corporation (SOMCO), Manila Toll Expressway System, Inc. (MATES)  and Star Tollway Corporation (STC),  the operators of Skyway System, South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and Star Tollway, respectively, expect  traffic to peak on Holy Wednesday and Maundy Thursday, as well as on Easter Sunday and the following Monday, for the influx back to Manila. With this, motorists are encouraged to plan their trips in advance to avoid the traffic rush and delays.

SOMCO, MATES and STC have made preparations to manage the expected Holy Week rush of motorists to and from Metro Manila and the provinces in Southern Tagalog and  to ensure the safe and pleasant trip of all their motoring patrons.  The operators have cancelled the leaves of their field personnel to augment the intensifed patrol operations and motorist assistance efforts as well as the deployment of ambulant tellers in busy toll plazas.
