TIRUCHY: The introduction of FASTag cards has failed to speed up transactions at toll plazas across Tiruchy district, as several vehicles without these RFID tags enter FASTag lanes by mistake.
With the rules stating vehicles could be charged double the toll fare for entering FASTag lanes without the RFID tags, several vehicles have been found exiting the toll lanes at the very last moment once informed of the additional charges.
“Vehicular movement comes to a standstill several times a day. This is because a few vehicles enter the FASTag lanes and exit after the driver is told of the toll being double. With huge cars making U-turns in the narrow toll lanes, there have been frequent delays,” said an employee at Samayapuram toll plaza.
With the possibility of tempers flaring when double the toll is charged, employees said they have been advised to remain calm and to educate vehicle owners.
