PLUS highway users on the North-South Expressway (NSE), Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE), North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE) and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Crossing (Linkedua) paying toll electronically will be able to enjoy a 20% toll rebate in conjunction with the upcoming Christmas holidays.
PLUS Malaysia Berhad Chief Operating Officer, Mohammad Fuad Khusairi said, “Highway Class 1 users (light vehicles with 2 axles and 3 or 4 wheels except taxi) paying toll electronically via PLUSMiles cards, Touch ‘n Go cards or SmartTAGs will be able receive a 20% toll rebate for electronic toll transactions on 25 December (Friday) in conjunction with Christmas holidays.”
The public paying toll electronically will still be required to pay the full amount on 25 December, however, the 20% toll rebate (in a form of toll reload) can only be redeemed when they reload their electronic cards at all PLUS customer service centres between 15 January 2016 and 14 April 2016.
Apart from that, the toll rebate can be enjoyed throughout the whole day of 25th December and is not restricted to a particular time frame.
However, the toll rebate will not be given to those paying toll at the Tanjung Kupang, Bukit Kayu Hitam, Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Penang Bridge toll plazas.
Based on its studies on travelling patterns during previous festive seasons, PLUS expects the traffic on the NSE to increase by 15% to 1.5 million vehicles every day between 18 December 2015 and 3 January 2016 as compared to 1.3 million on normal days.
