The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) authorized NLEX Corp. to implement the second tranche of a previously approved toll adjustment effective June 4, 2024.
Under the new toll matrix, motorists traveling anywhere within the open system of North Luzon Expressway will pay an additional P5 for Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs), P14 for Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks) and P17 for Class 3 vehicles.
The open system is from Balintawak, Caloocan City to Marilao, Bulacan, while the closed system covers the portion between Bocaue, Bulacan and Sta. Ines, Mabalacat City, Pampanga including Subic-Tipo.
Those traveling the NLEX end-to-end between Metro Manila and Mabalacat City will pay an additional P27 for Class 1, P68 for Class 2 and P81 for Class 3 vehicles.
The additional rates, which followed strict compliance with regulatory procedures and underwent thorough review, were part of the approved periodic adjustments of NLEX due in 2019 and 2021.
The increase was deferred and divided into two tranches to help curb the inflationary strains and ease the impact on the users of the expressway.
TRB authorized the implementation of the first tranche or 50 percent of the approved toll adjustments on May 25, 2023.
