It’s the final stretch as the December 1, 2020 deadline for cashless tollway transactions draws near. We want to reiterate that this cut-off is for the toll operators to implement the new system, not for the motoring public to acquire the necessary RFID stickers (which is impossible anyway, given that new cars will still be sold next year and beyond).
Get your RFID stickers now
That said, seeing motorists queue up at various installation sites (and even more of them inquiring or ranting on social media) indicates that the process is still largely challenging for many. Out of desperation, some are even considering buying the tags from unauthorized online resellers, who are retailing the tags at exorbitant prices.
San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the two companies responsible for operating the tollways, are addressing the increased demand by deploying additional RFID installation sites. These locations will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to enable more motorists to get their RFID stickers.
