No highway toll hike next year

No extra charge: Motorists will not have to fork out more for tolls thanks to the federal government’s hike freeze.

PUTRAJAYA: Motorists are spared from having to pay higher tolls next year – thanks to the federal government’s freeze on rate hikes for 21 highways.

The Cabinet’s decision on Dec 12 will affect concessionaires eligible for toll increases next year and is an addition to a previous announcement under Budget 2019 for a freeze on toll hikes for intra-city tolls.
