Second Link tolls
to go up from Feb 1
SINGAPORE: The tolls for all motorists at Tuas Second Link will be
raised by between 10 cents and S$4.40 from 1 February.
Motorcyclists will need to pay 10 cents more than the current toll
of 60 cents.
Cars will be tolled S$4.60, while vans and small lorries will be
charged S$10.50.
The largest jump is for big lorries, which will have to pay S$21
S$4.40 more than the current S$16.60.
Taxis will be charged S$3.50 and bus drivers will have to fork out
S$5.60.
The charges apply to both inbound and outbound traffic.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said when it comes to the Second
Link and the Causeway, Singapores toll rates are pegged to those
set by Malaysia, so the current revision takes into consideration
the new rates introduced by Malaysia on 1 January this year.
As for the Causeway, the revisions are smaller and affect only
outbound motorists.
There are no changes to the rates for motorcycles, cars and taxis.
But those driving vans and small lorries will have to pay 10 cents
more at S$1.90.
Bus drivers also need to pay an additional 10 cents at S$1.00. For
big lorries, the new rate will be 20 cents more at S$2.60.
