For vehicles registered in districts adjacent to the toll road, an annual pass is available at a cost of 1 MCI — 4,325 tenge in 2026.
Bus and truck drivers will have to pay for travel along the entire 469.5-kilometer route. The full cost ranges from 0.6114 MCI to 3.6172 MCI, that is, from 2,644.3 tenge to 15,644.4 tenge.
