Metro Pacific to hike use of RFID payments to avoid delays in tollways

METRO Pacific Tollways Corp. (Philippines) aims to increase the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on the expressways it operates to help curb delays along toll plazas usually caused by long payment time when using cash. Rodrigo E. Franco, the company’s president, said his group aims to hit the 50-percent mark in electronic toll collections technology usage in the next three years, a feat that will help the company take on its projected increase in traffic along its expressways.
