San Miguel Corp. said Friday it is putting up 100 additional RFID installation sites to serve motorists from both southern and northern parts of Metro Manila and the provinces.
SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said the company noted a larger-than-expected spike in applications, especially from non-regular users hoping to beat the deadline.
Ang said that while motorists would still be able to get RFID stickers even after the implementation of the government mandate for cashless transactions, SMC was introducing measures to accommodate the large volume of applications.
These include further increasing manpower and equipment to fast-track the pre-enrollment and pre-activation of new Autosweep kits; extending installation hours within the carriageway to 24 hours, seven days a week at Skyway Runway Plaza, Old NAIAX toll plaza, C5 toll plaza and Nichols and Calamba toll plazas; and activation of 100 new installation sites as soon as the expected bulk delivery of RFID stickers are received.
