^super confused with the RFID penalties...

my Easytrip and Autosweep RFIDs only work 25% of the time... mostly, scan ako ng card.

if I pass by a booth and my RFID was not read, penalty na agad? or will they scan my license plate, cross check it with my account and automatically make the deduction?

o do we still have to wait for a toll booth lady to scan our card (Autosweep)

Lalabas nyan "no valid rfid" device
Or "dilapidated" kasi hindi na binbasa.
Kaya technically may fine

Patulan kaya ni Tulfo magiging reklamo nayan?
Dapat may mag file ng TRO para ma clarify yung scope ng "no valid rfid"

Although aminado naman yang NLEX na low quality yung mga naorder nilang RFID stickers.

Ang nakakatawa sa memorandum nila, 9% daw problema na walang rfid kaya may delay sa toll plaza.
Ang totoo kaya may delay sa toll plaza ay dahil hindi binabasa ng mga readers nila yung rfid na sila miso nag install.

This has been my beef: ayusin muna ng mga toll way operators yung sistema nila bago nito.

They impose the installation of new RFID stickers when there is nothing wrong with the old ones. The tollway operators here should make the adjustment and not inconvenience the customers

Because of this RFID load system, tiba tiba sa floating cash at interest earnings itong mag toll way operators tapos kapal pa ng mukha to ask for an increase in toll rates

[Erick Chavez]

halos everyday din kasi kahit nakapila ka sa RFID Only lane only tapos yung nasa harap mo nakikita mo nag babayad ng cash... regardless kung may problema ang mga readers ng toll ways may mga motorist din kasing walang pake or tanga tangahan para di makapila sa cash lane

Dyan naman ako nabwibwisit. Imposibleng di nila alam na kulang load or walang load dahil pagpasok mo slex may check load balance na. Dapat magload midway sa gas stations or thru app whatever. Dapat din may penalty na kapag sa toll exit ka nagbayad. Walang pakialam kung nakakaabala sa iba.

Sa NLEX/SCTEX/Cavitex kada daan mo sa tolll gate may alert message sa app at sms sa binayaran mo at balnce ng rfid mo.
Sa SLEX malalaman molang balance mo pagdating mo sa toll gate, minsan wala pang lumalabas na amount. Pag ginamit mo yung text services nila , nakarating kana sa pupuntahan mo hindi pa nag rereply kung magkano balance mo.
Kahit sa app mas improve yung MPT Drivehub ng NLEX/SCTEX kaysa sa AutosweepMobile App, daming bug, tapos hindi lahat ng registered rfid mo ay lumalabas, napaka palpak.

Yan na mangyayari, pag walang load meron ng penalty.

sa slex, many times, when i enter the tollgate, there's no reading of how much bala i still have.
kung minsan, napaka-bagal magbigay nang read-out! just last nite, ang nabasa ko ay 85 pesos na lang, when i know for a fact that i still had almost 4000 bucks! yun pala, i figger later, i was reading the car's that just left ahead of me.

"so why don't i memorize the amount i still have, when i leave the gate?" that's easy to say, but difficult to do, as we are too busy avoiding bumping into the other cars...

the other night naman,
the toll queue at skyway was extremely long. yun pala, so many cards were being mis-read by the scanners, the toll operators were jumping from gate to gate, doing manual operation.

so, no! i do not think our current systems are ready to get rid of humen operators.

ako palaging may minimum 1K sa RFID... minimum yun

so kahit anong vehicle namin ang dumaan, sure na may load yun.

pero as I mentioned earlier, 25% of the time lang gumagana RFID ko (Easytrip or Autosweep) - yung Easytrip nga, kakakabit lang 2 days ago, ni minsan di pa din gumagana.

so by September, damaged/dilapilated mga RFID ko? may multa na agad?

Saan ba nakalagay mga RFID mo?

I am starting to think that this is probably more of a you-problem.... or more specifically, your car. It is unusual na 3 out of 4 times di gumagana sayo... on either ET and AS. I'm thinking there's probably something in your vehicle that is interfering with the system.

Yung sa akin, one RFID sticker for both platforms, gumagana with almost perfect batting average.

both cars sa headlight

Poked a hole in my windshield tint and requested for a replacement Autosweep RFID. They sent me a notification earlier that I've been using my card too much. My Easytrip is installed on the headlight beside the school/village RFID.

Went up to Baguio over the weekend. Autosweep failed only once on Skyway Stage 3 NB. No problems on both in succeeding booths.

[oj88]

On the topic of using just one RFID sticker for both EasyTrip and AutoSweep systems, I just got off the phone with an EasyTrip agent and they confirmed that I can continue to use my AutoSweep RFID tag in their system, indefinitely.

I registered this AutoSweep tag on EasyTrip's system earlier this year.

So, is EasyTrip no longer allowing this registration? It's funny because they still have it up in their FAQ.

New fines for lack of tollway RFID and insufficient load deferred to October 1, 2024 | TopGear PH

“We hope the concerned agencies and tollway operators would use the 30-day deferment to fine-tune expressway operations and further intensify the public information campaign to enable tollway users to comply with the new guidelines,” Bautista said.

Did a quick overnight food trip to Pampanga over the weekend.

Autosweep - Stage 3 - passed by 1 scanner only - it worked!
Easytrip - worked 2 times only (Balintawak northbound and Bocaue southbound)

Both RFIDs were installed on our headlight, Autosweep is a month old, Easytrip is less than a week old.

Big plus for Easytrip that they have card scanners that you can use if they cannot read your RFID - just find it annoying that even the card scanner at Mexico was not working last Saturday.

IMO, Autosweep should also intall QR Code readers as a second option for motorists if their RFID readers fail... that way, we don't need to wait for their staff to manually scan our cards.

[Dr.Kamiya]

RFIDs on my daily are over 3 years old (installed during pandemic) and I've only ever had to bring out the card to get scanned once.

Autosweep installed on the windshield (3M color-stable tint), Easytrip on passenger headlight.

I prefer to have it inside on the windshield so the sticker is not out in the elements. Bonus points for not messing up the looks of the headlight.

if you really want to minimize queueing at the toll booths,
make each toll booth cash-capable and card-capable.

Agree. But it will be more expensive for the toll operator to implement.
