30% discount on tolls on weekend before Tomb Sweeping Day

30% discount on tolls on weekend before Tomb Sweeping Day The next long holiday coming up is a four-day weekend for Tomb Sweeping Day in early April. The Freeway Bureau advises families to hold their tomb-sweeping reunions one week in advance. From March 30 to 31, the freeway authorities will offer a 30 percent discount on tolls, to encourage motorists to head out early and beat the holiday rush. Traffic jams strike every year over the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. This year the Freeway Bureau is offering a pre-holiday toll discount to encourage more motorists to go home from March 30-31.Member of the publicI might go home then, because it will cost a bit less, and I''m wary of congestion over the holiday weekend.Member of the publicI wouldn''t necessarily go home early - it depends on when my family plans to go tomb-sweeping. I wouldn''t go early just because there is a discount.Over the Tomb Sweeping holiday from April 4 to 7, tolls will be set at a flat rate. Tolls will be suspended from midnight to 5 a.m. on the first three days, and from midnight to 10 a.m. on the last day of the holiday to relieve homebound traffic.Tsai Ming-cheMOTC Freeway BureauWe had offered pre-holiday discounts before, but back then the discount was 30 or 20 percent off the regular rate. This time we are offering an even more favorable discount of 30 percent off a flat rate. That is to say, a 30 or 20 discount off the flat rate of NT$0.63 per kilometer is better than the same discount off the regular rate. It''s bigger savings, particularly over the mid- to long- haul.The Freeway Bureau advises the public to hit the road early this year so they don''t get stuck in tomb-sweeping traffic.
