KUALA LUMPUR: The government decided to kick off the open toll payment system at only five highways to ensure that the system can function properly before it is expanded to other highways.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said although several more concession companies had shown interest to participate in the open payment system, the government did not want to be too ambitious and hasty in implementing it.
Recently, Nanta announced that the open payment system, which allows users to pay tolls using debit and credit cards, would be implemented by this September at five highways. Nanta said a team from the ministry’s Development and Privatisation Division had been working on the proposed open payment system since 2022.
Nanta said the implementation of the open payment system and related matters came under the jurisdiction of the ministry.
