Toll Collection. The Corredor Sur operates on an open toll system, with toll plazas at all access points in the Atlapa and Ciudad Radial intersections and roads joining/leaving the road from/to the east at Costa del Este and Hipódromo. Tolls are collected manually and through pre-paid swipe cards through forty-two toll booths along the Corredor Sur. There are seven automatic toll booths at Atlapa and Ciudad Radial reserved for drivers with pre-paid swipe cards, and at all other toll plazas these drivers can use their cards through an automatic reader. No discount is offered for pre-paying the Tolls, and the initial card can be purchased for US$4.50. The value on the cards can be renewed or increased at the manned toll booths. During 2004, approximately 20% of drivers used the pre-pay system. The Concessionaire believes the construction of additional toll booths at certain exit points will reduce vehicle congestion at toll booths during peak times of travel. The Concessionaire intends to construct seven additional toll booths in the future, as demand continues to grow. In addition, the Concessionaire believes that the implementation of an electronic toll collection system is an effective way to increase capacity at toll plazas. The Concessionaire is evaluating the cost and timing of adopting an electronic toll collection system in the future if traffic volume continues to increase rapidly.
