To date, we have taken a strong stance of “don't allow unauthorized traffic” so as not to jeopardize the trust of our customers in the toll road business. We believe that the arrest of the police will ensure fairness in the burden of toll charges and prevent unauthorized traffic.

We will continue to take a resolute attitude against unauthorized traffic and will actively cooperate with police investigations to tackle unauthorized traffic.

In addition, regarding illegal tolls by the suspect, the toll fee will be checked and a surcharge (double the toll fee exempted) will be charged in addition to the illegally tolled toll fee.
