Heads Up: Cavitex Will Hike Toll Fees Starting This August

(SPOT.ph) Motorists plying Cavitex, heads up: The Manila-Cavite Expressway will hike toll fees starting August 21, the Toll Regulatory Board said Monday.

The TRB has greenlit the petition of Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC) and Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) to collect adjusted fees for Seaside to Zapote (R1) and Zapote to Kawit (R1 Extension, Segment 4). This means the Class 1 toll fee for R1 will be P35 from the current P33.

Under the Toll Operation Agreement, the CIC and PRA are allowed to apply for toll fee adjustment every three years, and they filed a petition for rate adjustment in September 2017.

The last toll fee adjustment for R1 was implemented on May 12, 2022 for its 2011 and 2014 petition, while this will be the first time for the R1 Extension, Segment 4 since May 1, 2011.
