Toll hike for 5 highways on Sunday
Feb 26, 09 12:17pm
The toll rates for five highways - North-South Expressway, Sprint Highway, Ampang Elevated Highway, Sungai Besi Highway, New Pantai Expressway - will go up this Sunday.
I used to travel back to Ipoh, the old toll rates as below
Entry plaza : Jalan Duta (JLD)
Exit plaza : Simpang Pulai (SPP)
(Class 1) : RM 24.80
Distance : 182.5km
With new toll rates, it will be RM26.04..rounded to RM26.05. This means I'm paying RM1 = 7km compare to old rates of RM1 = 7.35km. Presently my car FC is 650km for 50L petrol on highway drive, with current petrol price of RM1.80 per litre, this equalls to RM90 petrol for 650km drive, that is RM1= 7.2km distance.Its an expensive drive on PLUS highway.Petrol price nor going down but likely increase on RON97 once new RON95 is introduce. So we are trap in the middle..
When are toll hike going to end. Already my monthly PCB tax has increase not because of new salary but new rules from our Income Tax office.The Goverment should buy off all the toll consession in order to help the rakyat. ...too many toll for such a small country.
