In a statement sent to ARKIPELAGO NEWS BULACAN, it said the approved toll adjustment would take effect on June 4 this year.
Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system will pay an additional ₱5.00 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs), ₱14.00 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks), and ₱17.00 for Class 3 vehicles.
The open system is from Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan while closed system covers the portion between Bocaue, Bulacan and Sta. Ines, Mabalacat City, Pampanga including Subic-Tipo.
Those traveling the NLEX end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional ₱27.00 for Class 1, ₱68.00 for Class 2 and ₱81.00 for Class 3 vehicles.
The additional rates, which according to NLEX, followed strict compliance with regulatory procedures and underwent thorough review, were part of the approved periodic adjustments of NLEX due in 2019 and 2021. The toll rate 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 percent of the approved toll adjustments on May 25, 2023.
