Toll fees at the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) will increase starting June 4 as part of the second tranche of toll adjustments approved last year.
In a statement, NLEX Corp. said it has secured the Toll Regulatory Board’s (TRB) go-ahead to implement the second tranche of the approved NLEX 2018 and 2020 consolidated petitions for periodic toll adjustments.
Under the new toll fee matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system will pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles or regular cars and sport utility vehicles, P14 for Class 2 vehicles or buses and small trucks, and P17 for Class 3 vehicles.
The open system is from Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan while the 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 P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.
The additional rates, which followed strict compliance with regulatory procedures and underwent thorough review, are part of the approved periodic adjustments of NLEX due in 2019 and 2021, the company said.
The TRB authorized the implementation of the first tranche or 50 percent of the approved toll adjustments last May 25, 2023.
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.
