Tuas & Woodlands Checkpoint Toll Fees to Be Reduced From 2 March 2020
You can expect to pay lesser toll charges for cars, buses and taxis at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints in less than a months time.
Toll charges for these three vehicles will be reduced beginning 2 March 2020.
This piece of good news was announced by the Land Transport Authority on Sunday. But they didn’t just make this move out of the blue.
The new toll charges are in response to Malaysia’s move to reduce the toll charges for cars, buses and taxis at the Sultan Iskandar Building Toll Plaza (Causeway) and Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza (Second Link).
The new reduced toll charges have already been set in motion by Malaysia on 1 February.
New Reduced Tolls
Those travelling through Woodlands Checkpoint will pay reduced toll charges of 20 cents.
The initial toll charge for cars was $1 and it will be reduced to 80 cents, while toll charges for taxis will be reduced from 50 cents to 40 cents.
On the other hand, bus toll charges will be reduced from 80 cents to 60 cents.
At Tuas Checkpoint, cars will enjoy reduced toll charges from $2.50 to $2.10 during peak hours and $1.30 and $1.10 during off-peak hours.
On the other hand, taxi toll charges will be reduced from $1.90 during peak hours to $1.60 and $1 during off-peak hours to 80 cents.
Toll charges for buses will be reduced from $3 during peak hours to $2.50 and $1.50 during off-peak hours to $1.20.
Lest you’re unaware, peak hours at Tuas checkpoint are from 5am to 10am and 3pm to 11pm.
Unfortunately, if you drive a van, light good vehicle or heavy good vehicle, toll charges will stay the same.
