Touch ‘n Go eWallet new update makes paying tolls heaps easier

TNG Digital unveiled their Touch ‘n Go mobile app earlier this year in March to wide acclaim as it aims to roll out a host of features that will prove welcome to urbanites by allowing you to use your phone to pay for passage across the LRT lines criss-crossing town and paying for sundry goods and services. Their latest update makes topping up your card even easier than ever before as you can pair up a physical Touch ‘n Go card to an eWallet for toll payments.

At present, the most recent update in August allows Touch ‘n Go eWallet users to link up to three conventional physical Touch ‘n Go cards to the app in order to pay for passage at toll gates. Starting from tomorrow on 8 December 2018, the next slated update enables you to use the physical Touch ‘n Go card paired to a Touch ‘n Go eWallet to pay your fare at selected toll gates. When doing so, the amount is immediately deducted from the eWallet first and if you still come up short, it will then use the value stored on the card itself.

This makes life a darned lot easier as you needn’t have to constantly top up your physical Touch ‘n Go card when paying for passage. For now, the programme is in its pilot phase so this feature can only be used at the Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG toll lanes across the DUKE highway at these locations for now:

Duke 1

• Plaza Tol Batu
• Plaza Tol Ayer Panas
• Plaza Tol Sentul Pasar

Duke 2

• Plaza Tol Segambut
• Plaza Tol Sentul Pasar Tambahan
