Leisure & Lifestyle: What is SmartTag, How It Works & Useful To You?



What Is SmartTag, How It Works & Useful to you?

Okay. Let me get started with this topic. First of all, do you know what is SmartTag? SmartTag is a device (refer picture above) who needs to be attached with a Touch N Go card and it enhances the convenience and efficiency of paying for low-value but high frequency transactions.It is able to reduce the transaction time effectively at the point-of-usage and eliminate the hassle of preparing small change for the fare. Are you clear with the point?

Next we are going to take a look at how it works. When you have purchase the SmartTag, you can now insert your Touch N Go Card into the device and start using it. You can purchase the SmartTag device at selected toll plazas. Info http://www.touchngo.com.my When you are going to pass by the toll gates, remember to look for the signboard SMART TAG and only uses that LANE. When you pass by, remember to take out or display your SmartTag Device as the device will communicate with the toll device using the infrared technology. REMEMBER A REMINDER TO ALL, once you drive along the SmartTag lanes, please drive at the speed of 40km/ph or less to enable the device to communicate with the infrared. Once it had been detected each other, the toll barrier will open automatically and you are ready to GO!

Last but not least, is it useful to you? My advice is for those who offen uses the toll plazas should purchase the SmartTag. The reason is you may skip the queues and save your time. The price of the SmartTag is RM100 if you reload RM100 (purchase at selected toll plazas). Info http://www.touchngo.com.my. You also may reload the Touch N Go card at selected petrol stations, selected toll plazas & selected banks also offering the services with an additional charges of RM0.50 (except toll plazas with no extra charges). I have been using it for 4 years now and I found it very convinient. Why not you try it? Give me some feedback on it and share with others who also want to purchase the SmartTag. RATING: 5/5

Cause last time I bought one do not have the display showing how much money left at Touch n Go card. After that, my mom helped sell it out.
That one is the failed model and useless if cannot see the current inside.
