FASTag on Yamuna Expressway begins functioning
The FASTag system has been implemented on the 165-km long Yamuna Expressway from Tuesday. This has automated the toll collection resulting in shorter wait time at the gates.
“Commuters can pay toll via FASTag in two of the three lanes on each side. One lane will be for those who do not have the system installed in their vehicles,” said Arun Vir Singh, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida). Singh inaugurated the service at 4:30pm at the Jewar toll plaza. “The manual lane will be done away with once as per government rules and regulations.”
The toll rates for two-and three-wheelers are ₹175. For cars and jeeps, it is ₹360 and for light commercial vehicles it is ₹565.
