“This simple treat is part of our group’s initiative to give back to our customers especially this holiday season,” said MPTC president and CEO, Rodrigo Franco. The toll holiday for MPTC-operated expressways will also be implemented at the same time, from 10:00 p.m. of December 24 to 6:00 a.m. of December 25, and from 10:00 p.m. of December 31 to 6:00 a.m. of January 1, 2021.

Happy holidays everyone!
