Way to Subic. How bad is the traffic in Lubao?

[gerald_g]

We are going to subic tomorrow, and I am planning to take the San Fernando - Lubao - Bataan route.

I heard from a friend na meron giangawang tulay sa Lubao. Is the traffic really that bad in that area?

Will I be better off taking the SCTEX route?

Thank you?

Yes better and faster ang sctex route, ganda pa ng view, very relaxing to drive.

+1 on SCTEX. It maybe a bit longer but it's worth it.

I went to subic last dec.1. Coming from San Fernando Exit, at least 4 bridges were simultaneously being constructed towards Dinalupihan. Traffic was tolerable though, but if you're in a hurry then take sctex.

Thanks sa response guys!

I used to take the SCTEX route to subic. Kaya lang parang nakakainip magdrive dun. It was exciting the first and second time, pero succeeding drives medyo na-bore na ako.

Plus the fact the you pay additional premium on toll, but you only get to Subic about 10-15 mins earlier compared to taking the san fernando -lubao route. And parang mas more on gas consumption pa, kasi I get tempted to step on the throttle more pag sa SCTEX dumaan

Let's hear some more advice from those who took that route recently.

the only time i will stop using sctex is when they will allow tricycles and jeepneys in. just the sight of tricycles and super slow jeepneys on a highway makes my blood boil. puro kup*l pa mga tricycle drivers dyan, lagi nasa gitna para hirap ka mag-overtake. if only i had a ray gun just like what Marvin the Martian has, ubos na sila sana ngayon.

sctex. iwas highblood.

It is not that bad. I travel to subic or zambales atleast twice a month, sometimes 3 times a week.

Bridges or roads being repaired are no more then 200 meters total. I would always break from convoy at San Fernando Exit
while everybody else would sctex. I always arrive first for coffee at Jollibee subic. Hindi ako kaskasero relaks lang.

I think the only traffic that I experienced was when there is a Hot Air Baloon Festival and that traffic was at 4AM.

That day I took the SCTEX.

For me SCTEX is for Subic to Clark/ Nueva Ecija and vice versa.

San Fernando Exit for me if going to Subic or Zambales. (Dinalupihan exit)

I don't even notice Lubao, it is such a small town. Is it 2 intersections?

There are three or four bridges that was being built right now. I had just passed by two days ago, traffic is manageable.

But for your peace of mind, take SCTEx. No tricycles, kids doing suicides on the street, no bicycles, no PUJs.
