NLEX/SCTEX & TPLEX RFID interoperability

[dr. d]

On the news, this guy from NLEX wants a law to penalize people who enters expressway with insufficient balance or defective RFID. I understand the balance, it can be easily prevented. Pero yung defective, the only time you'll know it's defective eh pag nasa expressway ka na. Besides, misnsn sila ang may defect, nababasa sa ibang toll gate yung rfid pag dating sa iba hindi.

"your product is defective, and you are penalizing us for it?"
heh heh.

there was a time,
every other slex tollgate couldn't read my car's rfid. as we all know, we had to whip out the card for the attendant to shoot it with her scanner...

also,
a number of times in slex tollgate, even recently, the machine wouldn't give me a read-out on how much my card still had.
i had to ask the attendant to see how much was still in it.

during those days,
i had the impression the slex system worked better than the nlex system...
