The implementation of open barrier tolling is now being studied by the Toll Regulatory Board to ease traffic in toll gates.

"Yung barrier-less, pass-less, tinitignan na po natin 'yan... Hopefully kapag naging full RFID na po tayo, aaralin pong mabuti 'yon,"[Translation: We are studying the barrier-less and pass-less tolling. We will study this carefully when the RFID is already completely implemented.]

At a virtual press briefing on Thursday with the Transport Department, TRB Board Member Raymundo Junia said having a barrier-less tollway is the final objective for them.Junia said it takes 11 seconds per vehicle when cash is used on toll plazas, while it takes five seconds when RFID is used. Sales noted that toll operators are continually upgrading their systems while barrier-less tolling is not yet in place.[Translation: We are continually monitoring and observing their operation.]
