the good news is, every lane at PLUS now have touchngo

this happened to me once, i was on my way to kl from penang, so i plan to top up touch n go at juru. arrived at juru and found no topup lane. so i plan to stop at the next petrol station to top up.

first petrol station (rnr bukit semanggol/bukit gantang i cant remember) i went, i cant top up, system offline. so move to next petrol station. same story. then i move to another petrol station, same story, system offline. this time i cant take it anymore, i call plus and ask what is the purpose of touch n go on the first place? why promote the system if you dont complete it with topup facility? she suggest me to exit at kuala kangsar and go to their customer service centre to topup, which is inconvenient for me to make an exit just to top up. i want a smooth journey, not a journey where i need to stop to topup touch n go.

why i dont use bank facility to topup touch n go? because i think the company who runs highway from north to south and keep promoting their plusmiles and touch n go will have even better facility to topup their own card. i think wrong.

lol... one lane for topup..was wrong wit tat

Wrong comparison, they aim for different purpose, Singapore ERP is to prevent traffic, u arent suppose to pass it, and you are strongly discourage to pass. And our highway is exactly different, 100%, they WANT you to pass, they will close alternative roads, manipulate traffic lights of nearby roads, playing with road sign, do whatever necessary to make sure you use the road, they dont really care, that is the best for you or not, they just want to make money, traffic smooth of not, definitely on their want-to-do list but its at the bottom of their list.

what i meant was just auto debit...but the thing is if no cash toll booth then many sakai no job

I got an idea, upgrade our nation with many hidden CCTV and move your sakai to watch these systems, improve our security while maintain sakai, good ? wah... we really sakai.

i'm saying increase for those tunai guys, so encourage them to get Touch N Go

6.4 a day only whut... i everyday pay RM12 toll >_>

so u are paying more than RM250 monthly, thats double or triple of roadtax, u want to pay more ? why dont u just suggest TnG gets 5% discount and smartTag gets 10% ?

inb4 in Lima Kedai Toll at Johor all lane use touch n go..no lane for ticket or cash..

My TnG card ran out of money. And I didn't top up for 2-3 months. Why? Most of the toll plazas I passed by didn't have any more top up lanes. Even if there were, I was already so used to back to paying cash that I forget to top up.

And I don't think I bank with any banks that can use their ATMs to top up. The banks are -
Maybank, AmBank Bank Muamalat, RHB Bank, CIMB Bank and Public Bank. Furthermore, they charge RM0.50 per top up.

QFT

And bangunan BSI toll. RM2.70.

y so cheapskate must reach toll only reload?

stupidest idea ever.

this one better idea.

CIMB dont charge. topup rm50, get rm50.

the idea to give discount for tng holder is good. but you think they will implement it? they only know how to make profit and use the profit to bribe police with lancer and inpira.

better close down tolls. Settled

just wanna comment the bolded part above..

why don't you topup before you start your journey? so much excuse!

Need to look for a place to top up lah. Sometimes you are already rushing to start a journey.

A top up lane would be convenient.

PLUS may reopen top-up lanes

PETALING JAYA: Top-up lanes at PLUS toll plazas may be re-opened to enable motorists to top-up their Touch N Go (TNG) cards.

The top-up facility at the toll plazas in several areas was suspended in July to enable PLUS to observe traffic flow during peak hours.

PLUS corporate communications general manager Khalilah Datuk Mohd Talhar said its personnel were observing traffic movement at the plazas.

“In the meantime, motorists can still top up their cards at customer service centres at designated toll plazas,” she said.

She said PLUS had worked with TNG to open up reload counters at several petrol stations to offer an alternative channel for reload without charges.

“Users may also choose to reload their TNG cards at selected ATMs for a fee,” said Khalilah.

The closed TNG reload lanes were at the Subang, Batu Tiga, Sungai Rasau, Jalan Duta, Damansara, Sungai Besi, Juru and Skudai toll plazas.

Graphic designer Khaider Yusof, 23, said it was inconvenient for users to go to petrol kiosks just to reload their TNG cards.

“If I am driving on the highway and do not have enough balance on my TNG card, I can just reload at the toll plaza.

“Now I need to go to the petrol station and am even charged 50 sen as a service fee,” he said.

Human Resource executive Faustino Mundaw, 24, said it was a hassle to look for a petrol station to reload.

“In fact, they should have added more reload lanes.

“One is stuck if the reload system is offline or they are out of reloads,” he said.

Reload ATM got 50 cent charge. Reload at petrol station got 50 cent charge. So in other words reload not at tols or tng counter pay 50 cent.
