Tollways offer free Christmas, New Year drives

Toll will not be collected from motorists who will use the at-grade and elevated sections of the Skyway System, South Luzon Expressway (SLEx), and Star Tollway from 10 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2015 to 6 a.m. the following day; and from 10 p.m. on Dec. 31 to 6 a.m. on Jan. 1. 2016.

The management of Skyway O&M Corp., Manila Toll Expressway Systems, Inc., and Star Tollway Corp., the respective operators of the Skyway System, SLEx and Star Tollway, said the toll-free rides would be their simple way of showing appreciation to longtime patrons.

Rosa, Eton and Calamba in southbound direction; and Carmona, Greenfields, Alabang/Filinvest, both north- and southbound.
