Another six highways have agreed to implement the open payment system (OPS) for toll collection starting from September this year, Bernama reports. These will join the 12 highway concessionaires that have already implemented the OPS, works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said.
The six highways are:
- North-South Expressway (PLUS)
- Seremban-Port Dickson Highway (SPDH)
- Linkedua Highway
- Grand Saga Highway
- Grand Sepadu Highway
- Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE)
“The participation of these six highways means that a total of 35 lanes will be opened for the convenience of using the open payment system,” he said. He reiterated that 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).
The 12 highways that are already offering the OPS are:
- Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE)
- Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP)
- Western Kuala Lumpur Traffic Dispersion Scheme Expressway (Sprint)
- Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas)
- SMART tunnel
- Maju Expressway (MEX)
- Sungai Besi Expressway (Besraya)
- New Pantai Expressway (NPE)
- Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (Akleh)
- Guthrie Corridor Highway(GCE)
- Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE)
- Penang Bridge

Its a good move to expand the choices of payment method. But please don’t just do 1 lane (its almost like its being done for show only)….. when implement, should technically implement across the board. Make it available to ALL lanes. Just like the RFID…. always 1 or maximum 2 lanes for RFID…. when a car gets stuck in one lane….. it creates a huge backflow especially during peak hours.
Means MLFF will be delayed further?
I see something is located behind the board, perhaps a hacker sensor for stealing CC numbers?
farkrking toll operators and the farking gov want to collect our money faster but will not/has not done anything to ensure there is no delay/long queues at the toll booths!!
