The most expensive tolls in Colombia – Sectors – Economy

During vacation times, it is common for several Colombian families to go to other cities in the country to enjoy their rest and that these trips are made by road.

However, beyond enjoyment, car trips in Colombia have their ‘buts’: one of them is that the country is one of those in Latin America with the largest number of tolls, with about 180 (174 in total).

Of these, 147 are managed by the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) and by the National Institute of Roads (Invías). The other 34 are managed by the district, departmental or municipal governments, as appropriate.

Take into account that the tolls have as a financial function the maintenance and repair of roads. However, its cost is the center of criticism.
