Going cashless causes massive traffic jam on state highways
- Long queues are found at all highway toll centres.
- Swiping machines are not working properly.
- Due to network problem and other issues.
With state toll booth going cashless, one would have expected that finally PM Modi’s call to going cashless is working, however; on the contrary it is causing massive traffic jams on the state highways. Reasons: Network issue.
Â
Yes, due to network issues, the tolls booths are unable to quickly finish any transactions and this in turn causes logjams on the stretch.
Â
The demonetisation has created shortage of currency notes and has made usage of cards inevitable. But it takes five to 10 minutes to swipe a card in the toll collection centres due to lack of net connectivity. Consequently long queue can be seen at almost all toll plazas on Hyderabad, Pune and Bengaluru.
Â
Besides, the swipe machines are frequently facing technical problems and are causing trouble to the commuters.
