Article says RM10 toll
today won't be enough to cover the coupon payments. Decades from now definitely will be more expensive than RM10.
Also, if there were no songlap, it could have been RM5 or RM6.
that is their calculation to cover based on x duration to pay x amount of money in theory.
in article also mention "“The rule of thumb is less than 40 sen per kilometre. So, a toll rate of RM5 to RM6 will be reasonable.”
Moreover, if the toll rate becomes more expensive than other complementing highways, the expressway is likely to attract traffic only during peak periods.
you put mahal2 no one use, they also rugi. realisticly is to put it cheaper, increase the year of bond or something and review it again for another 5 years or so.
