The fact that we need to use NFC card to reload via eWallet app instead of directly top up to a normal TnG card already dumb as shit. Now NFC card shortage, normal TnG card shortage summore. This is in addition to the troubles with RFID and TnG cards that malfunction with no reason. Our toll system really is a gift that keeps on giving amandamai liked this post

QUOTE(moonsatelite @ Aug 12 2022, 09:54 AM) I thought it was already established that TnG cards are made offline due to the fact that in the early 2000's, internet connection was slow and unreliable, therefore the value/ balance is stored inside the TnG Card instead, but in modern days, we shouls screw PLUS for refusing to implement PayDirect. Not sure about the early naughts, but nowadays confirmed they are stored in their servers because we can check our card balance in the TnG app.PLUS are the troublemakers  Oh I also forgot to mention paydirect via TnG card not working on closed toll highways. It's really not rocket science, it's all politics. Just ridiculous. |

QUOTE(jmas @ Aug 12 2022, 11:23 AM) its old tech, designed like this cuz internet slow last time Even tho old tech, theoretically now the card only need to store the account ID to query the balance from server......no need to store the balance in the card itself, just like RFID system lah (please don't tell me they store the balance in the RFID tag also now upgrade system also no use, restricted by old card tech, deswai got new NFC card new card still store value on card, but got nfc feature to reload it on the good side tho, no worry about payment system offline, since balance is on card  )I dunno how much it would cost them to change to system, but c'mon la get on with the times FFS. |
