This blog is made solely because I was so stressed when we travelled earlier to go to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Many Filipinos are probably confused about the difference between Easytrip and Autosweep RFIDs, two electronic toll collection systems in the major express ways in Luzon, so let me do a quick comparison between the two.
I hope this helps you in your road trips too!
