Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) toll rates up October 15, Class 1 motorists to pay RM0.50 more

damansara-puchong-expressway-ldp

More toll hikes to kick start the day, it would seem. Beginning October 15, toll rates at all four plazas along the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) will be increased. Come this Thursday, Class 1 motorists will be required to pay RM2.10 at the Penchala, Petaling Jaya, Puchong (North) and Puchong (South) plazas – an increase of RM0.50 over the previous figure of RM1.60.

Class 2 motorists, on the other hand, will be asked to fork out RM4.20 as opposed to the old rate of RM3.20 – an increase of RM1. Class 3 motorists will be charged RM6.30 from Thursday, which marks an increase of RM1.50 over the old figure of RM4.80. Taxis will be charged RM1.10 instead of RM0.80 while buses will be required to pay the same amount of RM1.60.

Of course, the LDP wasn’t the only highway to receive a toll hike as numerous other highways were also subjected to the same situation. See the revised rates for most major highways here.

    LDP should not given the rights to increase rates since they cannot solve the traffic jam at Puchong-Sunway toll. Besides that, they have not done any road widening like NKVE. Just an unnecessary road resurfacing whereby the road was still okay before the resurface.

    • Actually it’s impossible to solve the traffic congestion in Puchong-Sunway toll as it has reached its maximum capacity.. As a matter of fact, it’s over loaded with traffic everyday. Road widening is not an option anymore and that was the reason. Why they try to push the KIDEX Highway through despite objections from the environmentalist and residents. I’m not saying that I support this project but I had lived in Puchong for more than 10 years before moving out so I know how bad the traffic is everyday

        Agreed, I don’t think if no kidex or any other way, there’s going to be nightmare x 2 in another 5 years, once all the new condo and housing are ready.

        I don’t like toll either, but it seems no other better choice than Kidex.

    Of course the toll rates are hiked, no other highway is more deserving than LDP where the speed limits are measured in centimeters per minute.

    Reduce cigarettes/alcohol or substitute airsuam for teh tarik, not only healthy but saving as well.

  • Although some might think 50 cents is not much of increase… Imagine that you have to pass by everyday to and back.. That’s Extra RM1… And assuming you travel on daily basis… It’s RM365 more on top of the rate that we are currently paying.

  • The seriously bad traffic jam is the clear indication of how many motorists are using this LDP on daily basis. My record was passing through the same LDP toll 8 times on the same day. So imaging the amount of money are they are collecting on daily basis and yet they still want to increase the toll. Simply daylight robbery.

    when the gov said prices of cars will reduce because of GST, it is untrue.

    the lower price cars are short-lived. prices of cars increased with GST.

    nowadays the moment u leave your house, u pay higher petrol and higher toll.

    the traffic jams are all because of the poor planning and corruption of the respective govening bodies in apprving construction permits for multi high density high rise condos
