Motorists will need to pay toll to use the Skyway Stage 3 starting Monday, July 12, announced San Miguel Corporation. The use of the tollway, which connects north and south of Metro Manila, has been free for motorists since it opened in December 2020.
The Toll Regulatory Board has issued an operating permit for the elevated highway that allows for lower fees than the original proposed ones, according to San Miguel Corporation (SMC). Final approved toll rates will be posted at toll plazas prior to the start of collection, the conglomerate said.
"These toll rates reflect our deferral of the collection of a substantial amount of the cost to build Skyway 3. We also further lowered the rates for those traveling shorter distances," said San Miguel president Ramon Ang. "We know from experience that times are hard for many, and even a little relief for motorists can go a long way," he added.
The 18-kilometer Skyway Stage 3 connects the South Luzon Expressway to the North Luzon Expressway and has a capacity of 200,000 vehicles daily.
