Direct Axis<\/a>, the financial services specialists firm, says that\u00a0South Africa has the lowest e-toll cost\u00a0if compared to other countries like the US, Australia and the UK.<\/p>\n

The much maligned\u00a0e-toll\u00a0system\u00a0will commence on 3 December 2013 on Gauteng\u2019s highways.<\/p>\n

“In South Africa, the average cost per kilometre for someone with an e-tag driving in a standard light vehicle is R0.30 and a daily commute of 80 kilometres on Gauteng roads will add an extra R24 to the daily travelling costs of motorists, around 11.9% of their daily income,” the financial services firm said.<\/p>\n

Based on the same distance, motorists driving on UK\u2019s M6 would have to pay R165 per trip. In the US and Australia, the same daily trip would cost motorists R146 and R258 respectively \u2013 significantly more than in South Africa,\u00a0Direct Axis said.<\/p>\n

Direct Axis\u00a0compiled an infographic which provides additional information on the costs associated with e-tolling as well as comparing these costs to that of other countries where a similar system is already in effect.<\/p>\n
