Toll rate review next year, 5% seen

Rate hike: File picture shows a segment of PLUS’ North-South Expressway. Toll rates have not been increased for the past 10 years but highway operators have been compensated by the Government for their reduced income for keeping the rates unchanged.

KUALA LUMPUR: Toll rates under the biggest highway operator in the country – PLUS Malaysia Bhd – will be up for review next year.

However, instead of a 10% rate hike, the quantum that is being looked at is about 5%, said sources.
