NLEX Corp. has secured the Toll Regulatory Board’s (TRB) approval to implement the second tranche of toll increase for Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) starting on November 19.
That is an additional P0.64 per kilometer for class 1 vehicles, P1.29 per km for class 2 and P1.93 per km for class 3.
The additional rates are part of the approved periodic adjustments for SCTEX due in 2021 and 2023, the company said in a statement over the weekend.
The increase was deferred and divided into three tranches to be collected over three years to help curb the inflationary strains and ease impact on the users of the expressway.
TRB authorized the implementation of the first tranche of the approved toll adjustments on Oct. 17, 2023.
Once implemented, motorists with class 1 vehicles (cars/SUVs) traveling from Mabalacat City (Mabiga Interchange) to Tarlac will pay an additional P25.
Those using class 2 vehicles (buses and small commercial trucks) on the same route will pay an additional P50 and class 3 vehicles (large trucks/trailers) will incur an additional charge of P75.
Meanwhile, motorists traveling between Mabalacat City and Tipo, Hermosa, Bataan (near Subic Freeport) will be charged an additional P41, P81 and P121 for class 1, 2 and 3 vehicles, respectively.
