The week started off with traffic jams and confusion at tolls along the North South Expressway, with some lanes being switched to RFID lanes as part of a larger transition to the system. Following that, we’re taking a closer look at our tolls and highways. Firstly, we examined whether our current system is serving us, and what needs to change. Then, we discuss other long-distance options we should be looking at, aside from highways.
