Prices include 8% VAT. Only 1st and 2nd class vehicles can pass through the Eurasia Tunnel."
 
With a price increase of 26 percent, the Eurasia Tunnel one-way toll for automobiles was 46 lira and for minibuses 69 lira. A vehicle owner who uses the tunnel every day will pay 2 thousand 852 lira per month for round trip.
