Touch ‘n Go, SmarTAG still available for toll payments

 

Touch N Go and SmarTAG lanes will still be available on the North-South highway, says Plus.

KUALA LUMPUR: Toll payments through Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG will still be available when RFID technology is introduced at the Juru-Skudai stretch of the North-South Expressway from Jan 15, highway operator Plus said today.

Plus managing director Azman Ismail said only one RFID lane would be provided at each toll plaza on the Juru-Skudai stretch.

He said the toll transaction using RFID technology was the first step towards implementing toll transactions without the presence of toll plazas through a multi-lane free flow system, he said.

Highway users are being urged to get RFID tags, now available online through the Touch ‘n Go eWallet application or Touch’ n Go portal, as well as at 39 RFID fitment centres across the Peninsula.

He said the migration to toll payments without toll plazas would take a while “to give the people the opportunity to adapt to the new technology”. - FMT
