Yikes! Toll Rates Increase, NLEX SLEX and SCTEX

NLEX Sample Toll Rate Increase in 2011

Balintawak to Pampanga 

Class 1 (cars, jeepneys, vans) - P174 to P195

Class 2 (buses) - P435 to P486

Class 3 (cargo trucks, trailers) - P522 to P583

There's more and it will make you go "Wow". Transportation to provinces in Luzon and Visayas will probably spike (I love airplanes...). Delivery expenses will balloon. Prices for goods coming from provinces like vegetables will probably go up, too. By the way, what is the advantage of increasing toll rates? Better take advantage of the 2010 Toll Holidays. Here's the list (http://meloyco.blogspot.com/2010/12/overheard-in-news-about-toll.html).

SLEX Sample Toll Rate Increase in 2011

Alabang to Calamba

Class 1 (cars, jeepneys, vans) - P22 to P86

Class 2 (buses) - P42 to P172

Class 3 (cargo trucks, trailers)  - P64 to P258

I couldn't find the complete new rates table yet (will upload it here once I find one). I just heard that the NLEX rates will be effective on January 1, 2011. SLEX and SCTEX toll rates full increase will occur sometime in April.

Only in the Philippines.
