The Philippines' expressway network has grown from two tollways in the 1970s to an interconnected system spanning Luzon from La Union to Batangas. Here is every operating expressway, what it connects, and which RFID it uses.
The northern network (Easytrip)
- NLEX (88 km) — Balintawak, QC to Mabalacat, Pampanga. The main northern gateway; mixed open/closed system.
- SCTEX (94 km) — the country's longest tollway, linking Subic, Clark, and Tarlac.
The southern network (Autosweep)
- Metro Manila Skyway (39 km) — elevated NLEX-to-SLEX connector through the metro; Stage 3 crosses the city in under 30 minutes.
- SLEX (36 km) — Alabang to Sto. Tomas, serving the Laguna industrial corridor.
- STAR Tollway (42 km) — Sto. Tomas to Batangas City and the port.
- TPLEX (89 km) — Tarlac to Rosario, La Union; the Baguio expressway.
- NAIAX (7.75 km) — elevated airport connector to NAIA terminals and Entertainment City.
The Cavite corridor (Easytrip)
- CAVITEX (14 km) — the Coastal Road from Parañaque to Kawit.
- CALAX (45 km) — Kawit to SLEX at Mamplasan; the modern Tagaytay route.
- MCX (4 km) — Daang Hari to SLEX shortcut.
Beyond Luzon
CCLEX (Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway) is the first major tollway in the Visayas, crossing from Cebu City to Mactan's Cordova — also on the Easytrip network.
