MANILA, Philippines — The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) should compel private operators of the country’s toll roads to resolve various problems affecting motorists before they are allowed to raise fees, two senators said on Monday. ADVERTISEMENTTulfo, the new chair of the Senate public services committee, said the problems in the cashless payment schemes of the toll operators had contributed to congestion on expressways and nearby communities. I’m very dead serious,” Tulfo told TRB officials. “They (toll operators) should be ashamed. Alvin Carullo, TRB executive director, admitted that toll road operators had “failed” to satisfy the state regulator’s requirement for implementing the contactless payment scheme.
