The cash-strapped government is to introduce a steep hike in toll charge with the increase in traffic volume and number of vehicles using the express way network with a view of raising revenue, Finance Ministry sources divulged.
The Road Development Authority (RDA) will raise the toll charge by at least 50 per cent due the current economic situation and the increase in road maintenance costs, a senior official of the ministry said.
The aim is to collect Rs. 12 billion in revenue from toll charges from the present Rs. 8 billion per annum he added. (BS)
