The Philippines' business paper BusinessWorld, quoting Julius G Corpuz, an official with the Philippines Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), reported that the implementation of higher toll rates could happen in the first week of January next year.
'Our lawyers just have to review the copy of the decision, convene a meeting the middle of next week to discuss whether to maintain or increase the existing proposed rates based on the project cost, present and projected traffic volume and operations and maintenance cost,' Corpuz was quoted as saying.
It was reported that the TRB would also review the proposed rates by tollway operator South Luzon Tollway Corp (SLTC) for the recently completed 7.5km link ' known as Toll Road Project 3 (TR3) ' between SLEX and the Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR).
