Toll tariffs to increase: SANRAL

[LazyLion]

Toll tariffs will increase in line with the consumer price index (CPI) on May 24, the SA National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) said on Friday.

"Any adjustments to the tariffs are based on the preceding twelve months' CPI. The average CPI adjustment for Sanral toll tariffs is 5.8 percent," it said in a statement.

Transport Minister Dipuo Peters approved the tariff adjustments proposed by Sanral early in May and the adjustments were gazetted on Friday.

The only toll plaza that would not be affected by the increase was Swartruggens.

"We use the inflation rate as a guide, as we at the national roads agency do not want to increase road usage costs beyond what is reasonable," spokesman Vusi Mona said.

Electronic tolling in Gauteng would also not be affected.

"E-toll tariffs in Gauteng became effective in the beginning of December 2013 and therefore the first annual adjustment may only be in March 2015," said Mona.

Here you go... two days after the elections.

 

[nevadayz]

what the actual fark

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Am not surprised.

Still not going to pay them a cent. Or use their roads.

 

[TJ99]

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

To be fair, they could have increased it before the elections as well. It's pretty clear that the masses of morons don't give a flying **** about how corrupt their government is.

Here you go... two days after the elections.

Absolutely amazing.

You'd think the ANC would notice the precipitous drop from 64% to 52% in Gauteng, but clearly they don't give a rat's ass. ...and the fact that most wards around the E-Toll routes voted DA doesn't count for anything.

 

[Heisenborg]

lol, this changes nothing

 

[MrGray]

Yip, a higher percentage of zero is still zero.

It doesn't count for anything. The only area where it really matters, nationally, they still won by a landslide.

I think it's actually "regular" toll gates that are getting increased? N1/N2/N3? Or am I misreading this?

You're right, missed that.

You read it right - but when Sanral is mentioned everybody thinks immediately e-tolls

 

[marine1]

Thanks to the millions of brain dead *******s that voted ANC

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Yep. Correct.

Oops.

 

[TJ99]

Point still stands. It wouldn't have affected election results much even if they did increase e-troll tariffs.

 

[Sonic2k]

Here you go... two days after the elections.

As predicted, and the increases were also predicted on this forum, and debated, about 13 months ago.
The cANCer is sooo predictable.

Correct. However...

"E-toll tariffs in Gauteng became effective in the beginning of December 2013 and therefore the first annual adjustment may only be in March 2015," said Mona.

...what an adjustment it's going to be (if DJ's calcs are anything to go by).

 

[Albereth]

Correct. However...

It's also the unfortunate use of the word 'may'.

 

[rorz0r]

So regular tolls up by inflation this week, etolls up 20% next week?
