Government has proposed that toll fees for e-tag users be capped at R550 a month for light vehicles, Transport Minister Ben Martins said on Friday.

“Registering for an e-tag account will provide users with the lowest possible toll fees,” he told reporters in Pretoria.

“Following the consultations, we have lowered tariffs, reduced caps in all categories, offered discounts on tagged vehicles and during peak hours, and exemptions on public transport.” 

According to a Sanral presentation there were three different tariffs for different class of vehicles.

The standard tariff for a normal car, or Class A vehicle, was 58c/km.

The e-tag tariff was based on 30c/km. This was down from the 40c/km decided on last year, Sanral toll and traffic manager Alex van Niekerk told reporters in Pretoria.

The base tariff for light vehicles would remain at 58c/km.

Van Niekerk said the e-tag tariff for motorcycles had been dropped from 24c/km to 18c/km, for medium heavy vehicles (Class B) from R1/km to 75c/km, and heavy vehicles (Class C) from R2/km to R1.50/km.

NO.
I won't get an e-tag and I won't pay for travelling on a road that I already paid to build. So take your e-tag and shove it up your e-arse

What a load of BS!!
Doesn't affect me directly right now but it's going to hurt all the Gauteners big time AND in the long run the rest of us around the country if the ANC get their way!
We have BILLIONS to squander on selfserving governmental twats but the public has to pay and pay and pay again for ALL their ill conceived plans. Best of all it wasn't even a new road but an an extention.
Why are taxis exempt - they are running a business and to my knowledge don't even pay tax????
Where do our direct taxes go not to mention the taxes built into the petrol price AND the licence fees?
Anyone know??

Last straw to break the camel's back??

I think we must force them to listen by not buying those e-tags.
