The IJM Toll Division is now conducting a pilot test of the Open Payment Toll Collection System (SPT) utilising credit or debit cards on its two operated highways, namely the Sungai Besi Expressway (BESRAYA) and the Baru Pantai Expressway (NPE), commencing from 26 August.
Chua Lay Hoon, the chief operating officer, highlighted that the initiation of the pilot test aligns with the government’s drive to offer alternative payment avenues to highway users, according to news report by Bernama.
She emphasised that the SPT empowers highway users to pay tolls using debit cards, credit cards, or prepaid cards, in addition to the current methods like Touch ‘n Go (TnG), SmartTag, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).
This broader array of choices introduces new alternatives in the toll payment process for road users.
Throughout this testing phase, designated lanes for SPT can be easily identified through distinctive signage on the gantry, facilitating motorists’ navigation.
She encouraged highway users to ensure an adequate balance in their cards to cover toll payments. Furthermore, she informed users that if a transaction using a specific bank card encounters issues, they can seamlessly use other bank cards or TnG cards.
