CAVITEX

"Skyway", that's what the newly opened "Cavitex" is called by conductors and drivers of the mini-buses plying the Baclaran-Tanza route for lack of any other name they could use even if the seven-kilometer road cuts along the waters of Bacoor and Kawit Cavite unlike the "skyways" in Southern Luzon Expressway.   These mini-buses were already using the road before it was inaugurated, thus, conductors in the absence of information has to call the new road as "Skyway".

For a daily commuter like me, using the Cavitex is a breeze, literally and figuratively cutting my regular travel time by as much 30 minutes to an hour. Time saved could be spent to do more important things for my business, family and rest instead of cursing traffic enforcers, who in my observation, are the ones who actually cause more traffic jams.

Prepare though to spend additional expense for using the two expressways going to Tanza or Cavite City as Cavitex charges Php 58.00, 116.00, and 174.00 respectively for class 1, 2 and 3 vehicles. The fees are more than twice the Coastal Road's toll of Php 22.00, 43.00 and 65.00.  Anyway, we should have more infrastructures such as this to save man hours and lessen the stress of the riding public.
