Open payment system for toll collection officially begins on 11 highways – on Penang Bridge, year end

The open payment system (OPS) for toll collection using debit and credit cards has now been implemented, with the system officially operational as of today on 11 highways, Bernama reports.

While a total of 12 highways agreed to implement the OPS, Penang Bridge is only expected to begin running the OPS at the end of this year. This is to allow the concessionaire to study the system further, according to works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

The 11 highways with the OPS in place are:

Nanta said the implementation of the OPS would provide motorists with another option for toll payment, as an alternative to existing methods such as Touch ‘n Go (TnG), SmartTag and radio frequency identification (RFID).

“Our objective is to provide payment options for users since previously, there were only one or two systems and sometimes a road user’s (TnG) card balance is not sufficient (for toll payment). So, road users now have another option, namely the OPS,” he said after officiating the implementation of the system at the Loke Yew toll plaza on Besraya earlier today.

“This is also the first step towards implementing the multi-lane fast flow (MLFF) system in the future,” he said. He added that discussions are ongoing to expand the implementation of the OPS on other highways.

    Anyone notice since there’s 2 terminal at the toll booth, the processing time for the TnG card payment took longer than usual?

    One of the dumbest idea ever!!!
    With so many scammers and data thieves around, why would anyone want to use their debit or credit card to go throuh?

    What if skimming devices are added to the scanners, thousands of card information can be stolen in a day!!!
