Provision of "stop-and-go" e-payment facilities at Tsing Sha Highway (Sha Tin Heights Tunnel/Eagle's Nest Tunnel/Tai Wai Tunnel) to begin on May 13
******************************************************************************************
Motorists will be able to pay tolls by Octopus or contactless credit cards (including Visa, Mastercard and UnionPay) issued by local banks, saving time otherwise spent on cash counting and receiving change.
Two sets of card reader panels will be installed at each manual toll booth to serve vehicles of different heights. The card reader on the left of each panel will accept Octopus card payment and the one on the right will accept contactless credit cards. Cash payment will still be accepted if motorists cannot pay the toll successfully by tapping their cards.
At present, the "stop-and-go" e-payment facilities have already been introduced at most of the government tolled tunnels and roads. The TD will announce the implementation details of the remaining government tolled tunnels and roads later.
For enquiries on the operation of "stop-and-go" e-payment system, motorists can call 1823.
