KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — The toll rates of four highways under the Klang Valley’s largest urban highways provider, Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), will be reduced between eight to 15 per cent beginning 12.01 am on October 20.
Prolintas said in a statement that the four highways with the new toll rates are the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (Akleh), the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), the Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway (LKSA), and the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK).
This toll rate reduction applies to Class One vehicles (vehicles with two axles, such as passenger cars and three or four wheels, excluding taxis and buses), Class Four (taxis), and Class Five (buses) on the four highways involved, it said.
Prolintas said the toll rates of vehicles in Class Two (vehicles with two axles and five or six wheels, excluding buses) and Class Three (vehicles having three axles or more, excluding buses) remain the same.
The reduction in toll rates is part of the government’s initiative to lessen the burden of the people amid the rise of living costs, as announced by caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on October 13, 2022.
“Prolintas is committed to providing the best highway service at all times, from the aspects of operations and highway maintenance to the travelling experience of highway users on all of its operating highways.
“The company will also continue to support government efforts that can benefit and give a positive impact on the people,” it said. — Bernama
