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.
OMG…knnccb…Another legal or licensed robber…puihhh…
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.
Jam like hell, but still toll hike?
Good job ,i save up my roti canai breakfast and pay toll…
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.
Everyday suffer on the traffic jam,i need smoking to relax….
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.
Gst mari minister cakap cook at home….tol naik baik saya guna motosikal
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.
agree with u sad!
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.
tq KERAjaan BANGSAT NEGARA!!!
LDP (Lembap dan Perlahan)
should start charging motorcycles as well. they take up road space too
This is ridiculous, everyday so jam still dare to increase price?? If you want to increase the toll price, fine, but at least solve the traffic congestion first!!!!
Mampos sia liddat. I day in day out go LDP confirm la die… Better we all become like Vietnam, all naik motor pergi. but then later go motor jam on hiway…. :P
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
Toll allways increase… but traffic at toll allways jammed from morning till nite…why should be increase..bull shit Government
