SCTEX toll fee rates to increase tomorrow

MANILA: The operator of Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) will implement increased toll fee rates starting tomorrow.

Per NLEX Corporation, the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) allowed the implementation of the second tranche of the approved toll rate adjustment for the aforementioned tollway.

Following the authorization received from the regulator, motorists who will use the tollway need to pay an additional P 0.64 per kilometer (km) for Class 1 vehicles, P1.29 per km for Class 2, and P1.93 per km for Class 3.

According to the toll operator, the new additional payments are part of the approved periodic adjustments that are due in 2021 and 2023.

“The increase was deferred and divided into three tranches that will 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 last October 17, 2023,” NLEX Corporation explained in a statement.

Once implemented, motorists using Class 1 vehicles when traveling from Mabalacat City (Mabiga Interchange) to Tarlac will pay an extra P25.  Class 2 vehicles (buses and small commercial trucks) who will ply the same route will be charged with 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 have to pay an additional P41, P81, and P121 for Class 1, 2, and 3 vehicles, respectively.
