MANILA, Philippines — The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has authorized the collection of updated toll rates for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) Connector effective Oct. 15.?
The toll adjustment is part of the program to collect the opening toll for the NLEX Connector on a staggered basis to cushion the impact on expressway users.
Under the TRB-approved toll matrix, motorists using Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and sport utility vehicles) will be charged P119; Class 2 (buses and small trucks), P299; and Class 3 vehicles (large trucks), P418.?
The initial rates were implemented middle of last year, four months after the opening of the Caloocan to España Section in March.
With the opening of Section 2 from España to Magsaysay Boulevard in October 2023, the NLEX Connector retained the original discounted rate, letting motorists use the longer stretch for almost a year with no toll adjustment.
Full rates will be implemented once the NLEX Connector Project is completed.?
The NLEX Connector is the first expressway in the country to implement a barrierless system and uses 100-percent radio frequency identification or RFID, allowing faster transactions at toll plazas.?
