More and more highways are implementing the Open Payment Toll Collection System, meaning that they accept debit and credit card payments in addition to the usual Touch ‘n Go cards, RFID and SmartTag methods. On Labour Day, Prolintas has announced that all six of the highways it oversees will be going fully electronic for payments.
This means a couple of things, the first of which being that payments at four additional highway tolls now include debit and credit cards. Specifically, these are the Lebuhraya Kemuning–Shah Alam (LKSA), Sistem Lingkaran Lebuhraya Kajang (SILK), Damansara–Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) and Sungai Besi–Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE). For context, AKLEH and GCE already started taking bank cards back in 2023.
Going fully electronic also means that these six highway tolls will no longer be taking cash payments. With one less available option, you’ll have to make sure that you have sufficient balance in whichever payment option you use moving forward.
Prolintas executive director Mohamad Idros Mosin says that this is part of “enhancing convenience for motorists, improving overall road safety, and helping to reduce congestion at toll plazas”, in a statement to Paul Tan. According to the report, there are now 10 open payment lanes on SUKE, eight on SILK, six on DASH and four on LKSA.
