THE NLEX Corporation which operates the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is all set to implement the second tranche of toll road hike fees starting June 4 following the approval by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB).
In a statement, NLEX Corp said that motorists traveling with an open system will have to pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks) and P17 for Class C vehicles plying NLEX.
Motorists forming part of the so-called closed system plying from north of Marilao to Sta. Ines Class 1 vehicles will pay an additional P21, P54 for Class 2 and P65 for Class 3.
From north of Marilao to Subic-Tipo, motorists will pay an additional P2 for Class 1 vehicles, P7 for Class 2 and P8 for Class 3.
Motorists traveling end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional P27 for Class 1 vehicles, P68 for Class 2, and P81 for Class 3.
“The additional rates, which followed strict compliance with regulatory procedures and underwent thorough review, were part of the approved periodic adjustments of NLEX due in 2019 and 2021,” reads NLEX Corp. statement.
“The increase was deferred and divided into two tranches to help curb the inflationary strains and ease the impact on the users of the expressway. TRB has authorized the implementation of the 1st tranche or 50% of the approved toll adjustments last May 25, 2023,” it added. (ANGEL F. JOSE)
