STAR tollway rates went higher effective yesterday, July 11. Commuters passing in and out of the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) will have to endure another burden on their everyday travelling expenses. This is a repost from www.gmanews.tv.
Higher toll rates for the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road or STAR Tollway took effect Sunday, a GMA Flash Report said. The tollway stretches from Santo Tomas town to Batangas City in Batangas province.
The fees for Class 1 vehicles or cars and jeepneys were raised to P60, from P55 to pass through the Star Tollway.
Class 2 vehicles or light trucks and buses now have to pay P120 from P109, and Class 3 vehicles or heavy trucks P179 from P164.
Last week, the Department of Transportation and Communications decided to defer the rate increases for the South Luzon Expressway that stretches from Alabang, Muntinlupa City to Calamba City, Laguna.
It said the postponement should give SLEX operator Southern Luzon Tollways Corp. (SLTC) enough time to mount an information campaign explaining why it had to raise fees by 250 percent.
Albay Gov. Jose Salceda last month questioned the planned SLEX toll increase and asked the Supreme Court to stop the SLTC from implementing the increase because it was detrimental to public interest. —Sophia Dedace/VS, GMANews.TV
