On Friday, January 10, 2025, the Federal Roads and Bridges Directorate (CAPUFE) announced an increase in toll road rates across Mexico, with variations depending on the region. This increase aims to fund the maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of the country’s roads. On average, toll rates rose by 10 pesos.
In Baja California Sur, the new toll rates are as follows:
– San José del Cabo – San José del Cabo International Airport: from 46 to 49 pesos
– SJC Airport – CSL Airport: from 107 to 113 pesos
– San José del Cabo – Cabo San Lucas: from 83 to 89 pesos
– San José del Cabo – El Mangle: from 89 to 95 pesos
– Cabo San Lucas – El Mangle: from 48 to 51 pesos
– San José del Cabo – Cabo Real: from 54 to 57 pesos
– SJC Airport – Cabo Real: from 77 to 82 pesos
– SJC Airport – El Mangle: from 114 to 120 pesos
– El Mangle – Cabo Real: from 70 to 73 pesos
– Cabo Real – Cabo San Lucas: from 63 to 66 pesos
– SJC Airport – SJC Airport Return: from 114 to 120 pesos
– El Mangle – El Mangle Return: from 114 to 120 pesos
– Cabo San Lucas – Cabo San Lucas Return: from 53 to 113 pesos
– San José del Cabo – San José del Cabo Return: from 44 to 95 pesos
These rates apply to cars, with increases also affecting motorcycles and other types of transportation. The full list of new rates for 2025 can be found on the CAPUFE website.
The previous federal government, led by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, left a surplus of 4 billion pesos. Upon taking office, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that these funds would be used for road repairs. In Baja California Sur, 44 million pesos have been allocated for this purpose, as reported by Marco Antonio Gutiérrez de la Rosa, head of the Secretariat of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation (SICT).
Despite the intended improvements, social media users have expressed outrage over the rate increases, particularly for roads in central Mexico, where some tolls now exceed 300 pesos. Many feel that road conditions will not improve despite the higher costs.
