Tolls

It is clear that motorcycles were not included in planning for PPP contracted roads, despite assertions to the contrary.

E-Tags don't work on most motorcycles. No planning.

E-Tags cannot be mounted on most motorcycles No planning

E-tags were designed for an enclosed vehicle only. They get wet or full of dust and fail, break easily due to vibration and are dangerous to carry upon the riders person No Planning

Toll plaza equipment can distinguish trucks from cars, but seems unable to distinguish a motorcycle No Planning

Administration costs for non-E-Tag holders are crippling.
Cashless toll roads are discriminatory and socially divisive

Prior to PPP roads, motorcycles paid one-quarter the car toll rate.

No allocation for motorcycle toll rate in establishing PPP roads No Planning

After PPP roads, motorcycles were reclassified as "cars" No Planning, failed to include them so created an inequity, blaming motorcycles for not fitting their perforated plan

After PPP roads, motorcycles have to pay the same rate as a car Punishment for not fitting the No Plan Arrogance with inequity

The present administration has abandoned motorcycle riders to the ravages of the toll road operators. It has been left to motorcycle rider to solve the problem. This is a classic case of extrernalisation of responsibility by governement
