KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 15): Pilot testing for the open payment system (OPS), a toll collection using debit card, credit card or prepaid cards, is now being conducted at two highways under Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), namely Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) and Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (Akleh).
Prolintas group chief executive officer Datuk Mohammad Azlan Abdullah said the new toll payment alternative is available to highway users of Class 1 vehicle (cars), at a dedicated lane marked with a new gantry signboard.
“The system is now being implemented at three toll plazas of GCE — the Bukit Jelutong toll plaza, the Elmina toll plaza and the Lagong toll plaza, starting Sept 13, 2023.
“Meanwhile, the Datuk Keramat Toll Plaza of Akleh has accepted the new toll payment since Sept 9. One lane at every toll plaza is dedicated for the system in trial, complying with the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA)’s standards,” he said in a statement on Friday.
It is an addition to the existing toll payment methods such as the Touch ‘n Go card, SmartTag and the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Mohammad Azlan said.
He said 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.
