SINGAPORE : Motorists using the Second Link to enter or leave Malaysia will have to pay more from July 1.
The Land Transport Authority says it is increasing the toll rates at the Singapore end to match Malaysia's.
They will be up by between 12 and 20 percent.
The toll for cars (each way) will be $3.70, up 50 cents, and for taxis, $2.70, up 30 cents.
Motorcyclists will have to pay 60 cents, 10 cents more.
Other categories - for van and small lorries it will be $8.30, up $1; for big lorries - $16.60, up $2.10; and for buses - $4.40, up 50 cents.
LTA says Singapore's toll rates are pegged to those set by Malaysia.
The latest revision takes into account the new rates introduced by Malaysia on May 1, as well as the current Singapore Dollar-Malaysian Ringgit exchange rate.
Tolls for the Causeway will remain unchanged.
The last revision was made in March 2002, when tolls for the two checkpoints were raised.
Information on the revised toll rates will be available at the immigration booths at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints.
The public can also contact LTA at 1800-2255 582 or visit its website. - CNA/de

Get your facts right...
The only thing why MY fuel is cheaper is because KL govt subsidise 40% of the price...
And, soon... KL govt is going to ban SG cars to pump subsidised petrol in MY, wanna pump, pay SG rate
