Lesser toll fare for Cheras-Kajang highway?

According to sources, one of two toll plazas along the 11.5km route is expected to be abolished next month.

KUALA LUMPUR: Motorists using the Cheras-Kajang highway have a reason to cheer next month as they may be forking out less in toll fare.

FMT learned that one of the two tolls along the route is slated to be abolished.

A staff of concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd said that the company is expected to do away with one of the tolls on March 4.

However, the staff, who spoke on condition of anonymity, could not confirm the new toll rate.

Currently, motorists must pay RM1.90 in total for the 11.5km journey – RM1 at the first toll in Batu 9 and RM0.90 at the second in Batu 11.

When contacted, Grand Saga corporate communication officer Mustafa Kamal refused to confirm the matter and asked FMT to check with the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM).

LLM public relations officer Norhaslinda Abu Yazid also remained tightlipped on the matter.

It is believed that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak will announce the ‘good news’ at the end of this month.
