GEMAS, Aug 28 – Motorists will enjoy toll-free rides on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) and 20 per cent discounts on three other expressways on August 31.
Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor said no toll charges would be imposed on all types of vehicles using the LDP from 12.01am to midnight on August 31.
This will benefit about 450,000 vehicles which are using the LDP daily, he told reporters after attending the breaking of fast hosted by Tampin Umno division in Kampung Bangkahulu here today.
“This is the first time a concessionaire provides toll-free rides to show their gratitude to motorists and usher in the 53rd independence day celebration.
“I hope other concessionaires will emulate the LDP,” he added.
Meanwhile, Shaziman said three other concessionaires – Plus Expressway Sdn Bhd, Linkedua Sdn Bhd and Elite Sdn Bhd – had offered 20 per cent discounts to Class 1 motorist (personal car) on August 31 and September 1.
The discounts on the North-South Expressway, Seremban-Port Dickson Expressway, Johor Baharu-Singapore Second Link and the North-South Expressway Central Link are from 12.01am to 7am on both days.
The current discount during these hours on normal days are 10 per cent.
He said, however, motorists entering the Second Link from Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza would not enjoy the discount. – Bernama
So good and LDP should show gratitude to motorists not just once but once a year, every year from this year onwards!
