The Prime Minister asked Avenue Corporation to give the people to choose whether they prefer RFID, TNG Card, or SmartTAG.
Prime Minister pointed out that when the Expressway Company opens more RFID toll points, it should also give the people the right to choose, instead of switching all toll points at one time, it should retain the toll points of TNG Card and SmartTAG.
The Prime Minister believes that the highway company should use RFID toll points to improve traffic congestion. This is a good suggestion, but the people should also be allowed to choose. Earlier news pointed out that the Highway Bureau has discussed with the relevant authorities to reduce the cost of RFID tags.
From January 15, the toll station on North-South Avenue supports the payment of tolls by RFID. However, due to the instability of the system, some toll stations are congested, and the public has bombarded the North-South Avenue Company. The North-South Expressway Company has also dispatched staff to assist in dredging and solving the problems faced by the people.
In addition, the North-South Expressway Corporation urges the public to use the correct lanes to pay tolls. If you use the RFID toll points to pay tolls when entering the North-South Expressway, then you should also use the RFID channel when exiting the North-South Expressway.
If you use the Touch ‘n Go Card or SmartTAG lane when entering North-South Boulevard and exit using that lane, you cannot use the RFID toll points. This is a mistake many road users make.
