The Skyway NLEX Connector road between Espana and Caloocan on March 29, 2023. Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News/FileMANILA — The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has approved the collection of the new toll rates for the NLEX Connector effective next week, October 15, 2024.

TRB said the adjustment is part of the program to stagger the collection of the opening toll for the NLEX Connector to cushion the impact on expressway users.

Below is the new toll matrix:

Class 1 vehicles (regular cars and SUVs) - P119

Class 2 vehicles (buses and small trucks) - P299

Class 3 vehicles (large trucks) - P418 

The regulatory agency noted that the initial rates were implemented in 2023, four months after the opening of the Caloocan to España section in March.

With the opening of Section 2 from España to Magsaysay Boulevard in October 2023, TRB said the NLEX Connector retained its original discounted rate, which allowed motorists to use the longer stretch for almost a year without any toll adjustment. 

Full rates will be implemented once the NLEX Connector Project is completed, it said.
