New toll rates in the Klang Valley

By A Letchumanan

KUALA LUMPUR: Toll rates of five highways - Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong
(LDP), Lebuhraya Shah Alam, Lebuhraya Cheras-Kajang, Lebuhraya KL-Karak
and Lebuhraya Koridor Guthrie - will be raised from between 30 sen and
RM 1 from Jan 1 2007.

The new toll charges are: LDP, RM1.60 (previously RM1), L'raya Shah
Alam, RM2.20 (RM1.50), L'raya Cheras-Kajang, Batu 9, RM 1 (70 sen)
L'raya Cheras-Kajang, Batu 11, 90 sen (60 sen ), L'raya
KL-Karak-Gombak,
RM5, L'raya KL-Karak-Bentong, RM3 (RM2.50) and L'raya Koridor Guthrie,
RM1.40 (RM1).

Works Minister, who announced the rates on Thursday, said the rates
were
much lower than what the highway concessionaires had asked for, in
accordance with their concession agreements.

He said the government revised the demanded rates, because it did not
want consumers to be burdened.
