An amount of 37 toll booths have been converted to ETC mode. For users’ convenience, reload lanes are made available at certain lanes and Customer Service Centre or Pusat Khidmat Pelanggan can now be found at both toll ways with upgraded operating hours from 9 to 15 hours, to suit their ETC needs.
In addition, ANIH is offering while stocks last, 30,000 Touch ‘n Go promotional cards at RM5 each. The cards are now available 24 hours at Gombak and Bentong toll plazas.
