Toll road operator Transurban's quarterly revenue is up 17 per cent, helped in part by an early Easter holiday period.
The company - which operates Sydney' M2, M5 and M7, Melbourne's Citylink and Brisbane's AirportLink M7 - booked revenue of $500 million in the three months to June 30.
Proportional toll revenue - which Transurban says is the most accurate reflection of its performance - was up 17.5 per cent from the same period a year earlier, to $513 million.
The bulk of the improvement came from toll roads in Sydney and Melbourne.
Transurban said revenue growth got a boost from the Easter holiday falling in the March quarter, rather than the usual June quarter, meaning greater traffic volumes in June quarter for 2016.
