I’ve just received an SMS alert from The Star reporting that Works Minister Datuk Seri Samy Vellu has announced that the SMART Tunnel toll rate will be set at RM2 and will be effective from 11:59pm, June 14 2007.
This is actually pretty affordable as speculation among the grassroots have mentioned amounts as high as RM3 or RM4. The RM2 toll is definitely attractive, especially on the route from KL back to Sungei Besi as there is usually no backlog of traffic once you exit onto the Sungei Besi highway.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express skepticism about the SMART Tunnel's flood mitigation effectiveness, citing ongoing floods, incomplete mechanical systems, and design flaws. Many believe the tunnel functions more as a toll road for revenue, rather than a flood control solution, with concerns over delayed activation during heavy rains. There are also safety issues noted, such as narrow lanes, poor signage, and bumpy surfaces. Some find the RM2 toll reasonable for traffic savings, while others criticize the high costs and priority given to revenue over safety and flood management.
