SMC Infrastructure Waives Toll Fees for Christmas and New Year’s Eve
The holiday season is a time for celebration, shopping, and family gatherings, but it also brings the annual rush on the roads. With an increase in travel as people head to shopping malls, holiday destinations, and family homes, traffic congestion can become a major concern.
To ease the burden on motorists and provide a more convenient and smoother travel experience, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) Infrastructure has announced the suspension of toll fees on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
The toll fee suspension will be in effect from 10:00 p.m. on December 24 until 6:00 a.m. on December 25 for Christmas Eve, and from 10:00 p.m. on December 31 until 6:00 a.m. on January 1, 2025, for New Year’s Eve.
SMC’s expressways include the Skyway System, NAIA Expressway (NAIAX), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), STAR Tollway, and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX).
