SCTEX toll fee rates to go up tomorrow

Motorists will be paying higher toll fee rates when using the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) beginning tomorrow.

Based on the new rates, Class 1 vehicles will be charged with an extra P0.64 per kilometer (km), Class 2 with an added P1.29 per km, and P1.93 per km for Class 3.

The increase is part of the three-part adjustment that was approved by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) 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.

By November 19, those using Class 1 vehicles when traversing 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.
