The e-toll tariff for light vehicles with e-tags has been reduced to 30c\/km, Sanral said on Friday.<\/p>\n
This was down from the 40c\/km decided on last year, Sanral toll and traffic manager Alex van Niekerk told reporters in Pretoria.<\/p>\n
The base tariff for light vehicles would remain at 58c\/km.<\/p>\n
Van Niekerk was giving a SA National Roads Agency Limited presentation on the Gauteng highway e-toll system.<\/p>\n
Part of the presentation was the tariff history.<\/p>\n
He said the e-tag tariff for motorcycles had been dropped from 24c\/km to 18c\/km, for medium heavy vehicles (Class B) from R1\/km to 75c\/km, and heavy vehicles (Class C) from R2\/km to R1.50\/km.<\/p>\n
Transport Minister Ben Martins said government had proposed that toll fees for e-tag users be capped at R550 a month for light vehicles.<\/p>\n
Van Niekerk said only about 0.2 percent of Gauteng road users would pay the e-toll cap.<\/p>\n
About 78.5 percent of motorists using the freeway were expected to pay less than R100 a month, using e-tags, he said.<\/p>\n
About 91.3 percent would pay less than R200 and 96.3 percent would pay less than R300.<\/p>\n
