Which RFID Do You Need?
Both. This trip crosses expressways run by different operators, using Easytrip and Autosweep RFID. If only one account is loaded you will be stopped part-way through the trip. Load both before you leave — NLEX uses Easytrip; SCTEX uses Easytrip; TPLEX uses Autosweep .
Getting to San Juan and San Fernando
From the Rosario exit, San Juan — the surf town most weekend traffic is headed for — is roughly half an hour further north along the coast on Manila North Road. San Fernando, the provincial capital, is a little beyond that. Neither leg is tolled.
You Need Both RFID Accounts
NLEX and SCTEX run on Easytrip, but TPLEX — the final and longest leg — runs on Autosweep. Northbound drivers are caught out by this constantly: an Easytrip-only car sails through Bulacan and Tarlac, then hits the TPLEX plaza with no way to pay. Load both before you leave Manila.
