PLUS Malaysia Bhd (PLUS) will close all reload facilities on entry lanes from tomorrow until February 3 to ensure smooth traffic at toll plazas during the Chinese New Year celebration.

PLUS said in a statement today the move was aimed at reducing congestion caused by highway users queuing up at reload lanes.

“During this festive season, PLUS is expecting two million vehicles to utilise the PLUS highway, especially on peak periods, which are January 22, 23, 24, 27, 28 and 31 and February 1.

“As such, traffic flow at major toll plazas will be hugely disrupted if highway customers fail to make sure they have sufficient balance in their Touch ‘n Go cards and they are unable to carry out their toll transaction. This will also affect the comfort and movement of other highway customers at the toll plaza,” it said.

PLUS no longer provides Touch ‘n Go reload facilities at toll plaza exit lanes, it added.

Highway users can top up their cards at 11,000 reload centres throughout the country, including Touch ‘n Go Spots and self-service kiosks. – Bernama, January 21, 2020.
