Motorists should brace for higher costs to fund roads and public transport, as the Government announces a big hike on their annual license fees.

The Government has unveiled its 20 billion dollar draft transport plan, promising 15 four lane highways, as well as a half billion dollar fund for potholes.

As part of the proposal, the cost of car registration would increase by 50 dollars over the next two years, up 25 dollars in January and then again in 2026.
