The migration has started, Plus adds new RFID/ SmartTag hybrid lane in Penang Bridge toll

It seems Plus Highway is getting the RFID ball rolling as the highway concessionaire has added another RFID and SmartTag hybrid lane at the Penang Bridge Toll Plaza A.

If you’re travelling to Penang, be sure to pay attention to the new lane layouts. Road users coming from Kedah or Sungai Dua can use the new lane. Meanwhile, those coming from Juru can head straight to the RFID lanes at Toll Plaza B.
