Yesterday, we reported that San Miguel Corporation (SMC) will start collecting toll fees on Skyway Stage 3 starting July 12, 2021. We also mentioned that the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has approved a slightly lower toll matrix than the initial one that was proposed.
Understand that SMC needs these tolls in order to maintain Skyway Stage 3's condition
Thanks to a Twitter post by journalist Jervis Manahan, we’ve come upon the adjusted toll rate matrix as approved by the TRB. Check it out:
