MANILA, Philippines — Motorists traveling along the North Luzon Expressway will have to pay higher toll starting today following the implementation of the final tranche of the rate adjustment, according to NLEX Corp.
The tollway company said the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) authorized NLEX Corp. to increase toll rates by P6 for the open system and P0.26 per kilometer for the closed system.
The increase is the second and final tranche of the approved periodic toll rate adjustment originally due in 2023.
To mitigate the impact on expressway users, the toll regulator earlier deferred the rate adjustment and implemented the increase in two tranches.
Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system will pay an additional P6 for Class 1 vehicles or regular cars and sport utility vehicles, P12 for Class 2 vehicles such as buses and small trucks, and P16 for Class 3 vehicles.
The open system runs from Metro Manila, particularly in the cities of Navotas, Valenzuela and Caloocan to Marilao in Bulacan.
The closed system covers the portion between Bocaue in Bulacan and Sta. Ines in Mabalacat, Pampanga as well as the Subic-Tipo.
Motorists traveling the full length of the expressway between Metro Manila and Mabalacat will have to pay an additional P24 for Class 1 vehicles, P60 for Class 2 and P72 for Class 3 vehicles.
NLEX Corp. said that periodic toll adjustments are necessary to ensure continued delivery of safe, efficient and quality service.
