Toll Fares for CAR starting on 15 Oct 2015

This is a drastic increase of toll fare imposed recently eventhough less manpower manning to toll as users need to have a touch 'n go card to use most of the tolls now. Now the cost living hiking up drastically, now the govt pushing more cost for the public to bear. 

PETALING JAYA: The Works Ministry has defended the toll hike, saying that the Government has already subsidised a large amount of toll so as to not burden the people.

In a statement, the ministry said the move was in line with the gradual increment of toll rates during the concession period.

It said the total compensation paid by the Government from 2008 to 2013 was RM1.1bil, and RM402.9mil for last year.

The ministry said the Government had also deferred the increase in eligible highways since 2008 in its efforts to reduce the people’s burden.

“The amount saved can be utilised to implement development projects that will have a multiplier effect on the economy,” it said.

The ministry said the money can be used to finance the resurfacing of existing roads, build more hospitals as well as schools.

It also defended the move by saying that the hikes were only for intra-city highways and not inter-city highways.

“The toll rate for buses will remain so as to encourage the use of public transport.

“This could potentially reduce traffic and road congestion,” the statement said
