Tollways now free

Motorists can use the entire expressway system for no charge from today until November 20 to help free up travel around Bangkok.

 

The Cabinet yesterday waived all expressway fees, including Chalerm Mahanakorn Expressway (First Stage system), Si Rat Expressway (Second Stage system), and Udon Ratthaya Expressway (Bang Pa-In-Pak Kret). The government will pay compensation to the Bangkok Expressway Company (BECL) for cancelling fees of Bt184 million on these three expressways.
Earlier, fees were waived for motorists using Chalongrat Expressway (Ram-Indra-Art Narong), Burapavithi Expressway (Bang Na-Chon Buri), and Kanchanapisek Expressway.
