Prolintas has announced that the open toll payment system is now being trialled at two of its highways, the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) and the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH).
The newly introduced, alternative payment method is available for Class 1 vehicles (cars) at a dedicated lane that is marked with a new signboard at the gantry (pictured above).
“The system is now being implemented at three toll plazas at GCE: Bukit Jelutong Toll Plaza, Elmina Toll Plaza and Lagong Toll Plaza starting September 13, 2023. Meanwhile, Datuk Keramat Toll Plaza at AKLEH has accepted the new toll payment since September 9. One lane at every toll plaza is dedicated to the system in trial complying with Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) standards,” Prolintas group CEO Datuk Mohammad Azlan Abdullah said in a statement.
As on other highways, the open toll payment system will be in addition to existing toll fare payment methods including Touch ‘n Go, SmartTag, and radio frequency identification (RFID), Prolintas stated. “The initiative will provide greater convenience and flexibility for motorists with multiple options of toll payment which will contribute to the overall improvement of the nation’s highway industry,” the group CEO added.
Last month, trials for the open toll payment system commenced at four highways under the ALR Group, namely the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP), Sprint Highway, Kesas Highway and Smart Tunnel. In May, a total of 12 highway concessionaires agreed to implement the open toll payment system from September.

Have a dedicated lane for this open paymentlah. Don’t force TnG users to be in the jam. You knew using CC or DC will slow down payment significantly, so let them be in a separate lane.
PLUS when?
Anyone wants to predict that this Open Toll payment will only be implemented in 1 or 2 lanes at the most just like our RFID implemented since 2018 until today still the same 1 or 2 lanes probably still undergoing Testing phase after 5 years until another one takes over.
Do u know why jams build up at the toll gates?
Just 200 m,before the blardy tolls,u r not sure which lane to zoom in.
Some of the signages r for midgets.
Some ,for normal people with normal vision.
And then,the RFIDs sensors arent working on some cars with rfid stickers not properly “stuck” to the correct spot.
It is a nightmare trying to avoid moronic motorists who zoom in at great speed,or those “kos stant’ dudes who reverse direction cos they r at wrong lane.
ONly stupid ,hopeless,recalcitrant planners allowed this perpetual rojak at the tolls.
jams build up because of bottle neck and multiple ‘trial and error’ payment lanes.
Stupid idea.
Why have separate lanes for so many different payment systems? Smart tag, RFID, Tng, Open toll payment.
Why not just integrate everything into every lane so that users are free to just use any lane for any payment system like almost all other countries?
Stupid idea.
Malaysians loves choices, the more the merrier, but at the same times hates integration just like its education system.
itu tak kira lagi jem sebab nak bagi laluan pada orang salah masuk lorong. then bila tak bagi, dia hon-hon angkat jari. apola.
