Touch ‘n Go Offers a SOS Balance Option – No More Toll Booth Frustrations

We’ve all been there: crawling up to a toll booth only to realize you’ve forgotten to top up your card or your e-wallet is running on fumes. The embarrassment, the honking cars behind you, and the frantic scramble to fix it, it’s not exactly anyone’s idea of a fun commute, especially during rush hour. Well, good news, folks! Touch ‘n Go has rolled out a handy new feature that’s here to save the day and your “pride”.

Touch ‘n Go’s new SOS feature allows you to pass through toll booths even if your balance is low or insufficient. Essentially, it’s like getting a temporary advance to ensure smooth passage. Once you’re through, you have a 24-hour window to repay the amount. However, if you fail to settle it within this time frame, the feature will be suspended, and your ability to make payments or purchases will be temporarily blocked until you clear the outstanding amount.

For now, this feature is available to select users and highway operators, with plans to expand coverage soon. So if it hasn’t reached your favorite toll road yet, don’t worry – it’s on the way!

Let’s face it: this feature is a game-changer for those “Oh no!” moments at toll booths. It’s practical, user-friendly, and actively prevents you from being stuck in an awkward situation. So, the next time you’re cruising down the highway, rest easy knowing Touch ‘n Go has your back (and your balance) covered.

What is your take, is this the way forward for an eventual gate-less toll like some countries? Let us know in the comments down below!
