Toll roads: this is going to hurt and cause logjams in Linbro

* If you work in Midrand and commute 20 days a week, you will pay an extra R320 a month
* Centurion: R560
* Pretoria: R640

(All figures approximations.)

All of this for something we've already paid for with our licences and petrol subsidies.

According to the proposals, users of light motor vehicles would pay R0.40/km instead of R0.49/km, minibus taxi drivers R0.11/km instead of R0.16/km and bikers R0.24 instead of R0.30/km.

These proposed numbers only apply to people using e-tags.

The initial tariff announced was R0.66/km for vehicles without an e-tag account.

For medium vehicles, the toll fee was reduced from R1.49/km to R1 and for large vehicles from R2.97 to R2. For commuter buses the cost would be reduced from R0.50/km to R0.36.

An e-tag works much like pre-paid cellphone airtime, fits on the front windscreen of a vehicle and is scanned by toll gantries.
