Busan said on the 7th that starting on the 8th it will stop charging tolls on Gwangandaegyo (Gwangandaero) during commuting hours. Until now, it had offered a 50% discount on tolls during weekday commuting hours of 6–9 a.m. and 6–8 p.m., which it is changing to free.
The free rate applies to all vehicles using Gwangandaero during those hours.
Since Aug. 2009, Busan has offered a 20% discount on Gwangandaero tolls during commuting hours. Starting in Jan. 2018, it increased the discount rate to 50%, and from May last year it moved up the start time for the morning commute discount by one hour from 7 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Busan is also implementing toll exemptions during commuting hours on Eulsukdo Bridge and Sanseong Tunnel.
