Abu Dhabi’s toll gate system will be free of charge for motorists until January 1, 2020.
According to the Department of Transport (DoT), it will be launched on a trial basis from October 15 to give drivers “more time to plan the best travel times and explore transport alternatives."
The DoT has also confirmed a monthly cap on the toll fees for private vehicles, in addition to a daily cap that was announced before.
Meanwhile, senior citizens, retirees, martyrs' family members, people of determination and low-income earners will be exempt from paying the charges.
