The IJM Toll Division has initiated a pilot test of the Open Payment Toll Collection System (SPT) on the Sungai Besi Expressway (BESRAYA) and Baru Pantai Expressway (NPE) starting today.
This innovative approach aligns with the government’s initiative to expand payment options for highway users beyond conventional methods.
Expanding payment alternatives
Chua Lay Hoon, Chief Operating Officer of IJM Toll Division, emphasized that the pilot test aims to diversify toll payment methods for greater convenience.
The Open Payment Toll Collection System enables road users to pay tolls using debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards, in addition to existing methods like Touch ‘n Go (TnG), SmartTag, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).
Lanes dedicated to the SPT system will be clearly marked with distinctive signs on the gantries, facilitating easy identification for motorists. Chua Lay Hoon also advised users to ensure sufficient card balance for seamless toll payment transactions.
Seamless experience for users
Chua Lay Hoon further highlighted the flexibility of the system, noting that if a specific bank card transaction fails, users can utilize other bank cards or TnG cards for payment. This approach ensures a hassle-free experience for highway users, reducing potential inconveniences during their journeys.
The IJM Toll Division’s initiative to introduce the SPT toll open collection system aims to enhance convenience for highway users and simultaneously contribute to the advancement of toll collection technologies.
By integrating credit and debit card payment options, the division aims to usher in a more streamlined and accessible toll payment experience for road users.
The IJM Toll Division’s pilot test of the Open Payment Toll Collection System reflects the division’s commitment to providing enhanced convenience to highway users. By introducing credit and debit card payment options alongside existing methods, the initiative aligns with the government’s vision of modernizing toll collection and fostering greater user satisfaction.
