Nlex Corp. is phasing out the 15-year-old Easytrip tag and is replacing it with a new RFID system that will hasten cashless transaction on its expressways.
Motorists may opt for the free installation of the small, paper-thin RFID stickers on their vehicles’ windshield or headlights. Free installation sites were set up in various toll plazas. The remaining balances of existing Easytrip users will be carried over to their RFID stickers.
They may also opt to buy their own RFID stickers online.
“Nlex is moving towards delivering high quality infrastructure, both physical and digital. We are fully supporting…[the] campaign to ensure compatibility with all other expressways while continuing to promote the health and safety of our motorists amidst this health crisis,” Nlex Corp. President Luigi L. Bautista said.
The government is fast-tracking the shift from cash-based transactions to digital means in almost all transport modes and facilities, as it seeks to limit human interaction during the pandemic.
For RFID reloading, motorists may choose to reload via the Easytrip mobile application and online reloading partners such as PayMaya, Eon, GCash, Bancnet, Mastercard, Visa, UCPB, BPI, Metrobank, BDO, Coins.ph, and Smart Money.
