Motorists welcome DASH, reduces travel time but hope for reasonable toll rate

KUALA LUMPUR: Motorists welcomed the opening of the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH), but many expressed hope that the toll rate will be reasonable.

They agree that DASH, which was opened at 12.01am last Friday , shortened their travel time, but doubted they would use it if the toll rate was high.

"It took me only 60mins, compared to 90mins normally, as I can avoid the congestion at the Rawang Selatan and Jalan Duta toll plazas. Construction of DASH began in August 2016. It connects Puncak Perdana and Shah Alam, in Selangor, to Penchala, Kuala Lumpur, and is expected to be able to reduce congestion at Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari by 39 percent, Jalan Sungai Buloh and Persiaran Surian .

Businessman Steven Lee, 40, said he is relieved to have another alternative road to go to his office, which is in Kota Damansara, from his house in Damansara Perdana.Surveyor Hanis Amirah Hasnan, 34, who uses the highway from Kota Damansara to Penchala, also hoped that the toll rate will be reasonable.
