The Tondo-based lawmaker dubbed cashless toll collection as “anti-poor” Tuesday, given that it is supposedly not advisable for vehicle owners to just keep minimum load on their RFID.

Manila 1st district Rep. Manny Lopez insisted Sunday that the cashless toll collection scheme shouldn’t be forced on motorists.

The Tondo-based lawmaker dubbed cashless toll collection as “anti-poor” Tuesday, given that it is supposedly not advisable for vehicle owners to just keep minimum load on their Radio Frequency Identification . Referring to the tollway operators, Lopez said: “They would be holding billions of pesos in advance and, considering that no discount is given for any prepaid amount, they can already use and are being paid even if their services have not been availed of. To be sure, it appears that there is an undue advantage on toll operators and an obvious disadvantage to vehicle owners with this current cashless system.
