Toll Fees Waived During Holidays on SMC Expressways

San Miguel Corporation (SMC) will waive toll fees on its expressways during specific hours this holiday season, covering December 24 to 25, 2024, and December 31, 2024, to January 1, 2025.

Toll-Free Schedule:

  • December 24, 10:00 PM to December 25, 6:00 AM
  • December 31, 10:00 PM to January 1, 6:00 AM

Covered Expressways:

  • Skyway System
  • NAIA Expressway (NAIAX)
  • South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)
  • STAR Tollway
  • Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX)

“This is our way of saying thank you to everyone who uses the expressways we operate. It helps thousands of motorists get home to their families a little easier, especially during Christmas and New Year,” said SMC Chairman Ramon S. Ang.

Holiday Travel Measures

To ensure smooth and safe travel during the holidays, SMC has implemented the following:

  • Enhanced Safety Measures: Patrollers, security personnel, and emergency response teams will be deployed in critical areas.
  • Suspension of Roadworks: Construction projects affecting traffic flow will be halted from Friday noon, December 20, until January 3, 2025.
  • Strategic Support: Tow trucks and emergency vehicles will be positioned at key locations.

Motorist Tips

SMC encouraged motorists to:

  • Plan Trips in Advance: Allocate extra travel time and ensure Autosweep RFID accounts have sufficient load to avoid delays.
  • Practice Patience: Heavy traffic, particularly in Metro Manila, could affect schedules.
  • Follow Toll Plaza Guidelines: Avoid tailgating to ensure RFID scanners function properly.

Additionally, SMC is working with local governments to mitigate traffic bottlenecks near expressway exits.
