The adjustment stems from a 2022 petition for periodic toll rate adjustment by Ayala Corp and MCX Project Company
The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has authorized the collection of the provisionally approved toll fee hike for the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX) beginning November 20.
The adjustment is part of a 2022 petition filed by the Ayala Corporation and the MCX Project Company as part of the expressway’s regular toll review process, according to TRB.
Under the newly-implemented rates, Class 1 vehicles such as cars and sports utility vehicles will pay an additional P3, bringing the total toll fee to P22.
Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks) will incur an increase of P4, setting their fee at P43. Class 3 vehicles (large trucks and trailers) will be charged an additional P7, resulting in a total fee of P65.
The TRB authorized the new toll fees after the investor and operator met all compliance requirements, including the publication of notices and posting of a surety bond.
The adjustment comes as part of Ayala Corporation’s commitment as a concessionaire to maintaining and improving the MCX infrastructure, according to TRB.
MCX is a four-kilometer expressway connecting the junction of Daang Reyna and Daang Hari in Las Piñas/Bacoor, Cavite, to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) serves as both entry and exit points for the northbound and southbound lanes of SLEX. The route passes through the New Bilibid Prison Reservation.
