MANILA, Philippines — Newly-appointed Transportation Secretary Vivencio Dizon on Friday said he ordered the suspension of the cashless collection of toll fees on expressways, describing the system as “anti-poor.”
Dizon’s order comes after the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) said that all vehicles passing through expressways must be equipped with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFIDs) for cashless payment starting March 15, or they would be penalized.
