What are you going to do about the impending toll hike?

It is long overdue for taking some drastic measures to reduce living expenses after a series of price hikes in the past year, e.g. fuel hike, utility hike. The latest is toll hike. For those who feel the pain, it is time to stop complaining and take action. One of the measures you can take immediately is to reduce car usage. Share a car with someone in the office that is staying in the your area. Use LRT if your office is near LRT station. Shop in areas served by LRT.
