This raises the toll fee to P69, P172, and P206, respectively.

The official release from the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) states that the higher toll fees are part of the periodic toll-rate adjustment petitions filed by the NLEX Corporation in 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2020. This year, the toll operator is allowed to collect the last tranche of the 2012 and 2014 adjustments, and half of the 2018 and 2020 provisionally approved adjustments “to help curb the existing inflationary situation and cushion the impact on users of the expressway.”
Public utility jeepneys under the Pasada Pass and Tsuper Card programs will continue to enjoy the old rates.
