CAVITEX toll up starting August 21, 2023

The Manila-Cavite Toll Expressway (CAVITEX) will increase its toll starting Monday, August 21, 2023, Unang Balita reported on Tuesday, citing the expressway's management.

Starting 12:01 a.m. of August 21, CAVITEX R1 (Parañaque Toll Plaza) and R1 Extension (Kawit Toll Plaza) will be implementing the following rates:

CAVITEX R1 (Parañaque Toll Plaza)

• Class 1 – P35.00
• Class 2 – P70.00
• Class 3- P104.00

CAVITEX R1 Extension (Kawit Toll Plaza)

• Class 1 – P73.00
• Class 2 – P146.00
• Class 3- P219.00

The increases were approved by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), the CAVITEX management said.

"The new rates are part of the 2017 toll petition filed by Cavitex Infrastructure Corporation (CIC) and joint-venture partner Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA)," it said on Facebook.

The increase in toll rates will help "in maintaining a safe and high-quality expressway for our motorists," it added.

CIC and joint venture partner Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) will also reactivate the Abante Card program for Class 1 and Class 2 PUV drivers and operators. It will allow them to continue to enjoy the old toll rates for a period of three months through a rebate program. —KBK, GMA Integrated News
