Back to work

After a long holiday for about 10 days, I'm back to work today with lazy & blur mind. Hopefully I will be back on track soon.

Plus New Toll Rate 1st Jan 09 - 31st Dec 10

PLUS's new toll rate has been effective today for class 1 vehicle.

Look at how much we can save when we travel off peak hours from Damansara - Changkat Jering. To their definition, this period (12-7am) is when we pay at toll plaza. I can merely save RM3.30 when I travel from Damansara - Changkat Jering during off peak period. I'm risking my life & endanger other road users for travelling during my ZZzzzZzz time.

To enjoy this promotion, will we see traffic jam situation at toll plaza between 12-1am or 6-7am?

Another promotion from PLUS is the PLUSMiles loyalty card. We can get 5% toll discount if our toll usage is RM200 and above per month. If we are a normal off-season highway users, we cannot really benefit from this promotion. An example is we travel (round-trip) monthly from Bukit Kayu Hitam - Skudai, we are charged RM211.80 for 1468km for a rebate of 5%. Besides, we can use this loyalty card to enjoy some discount at participated shop along PLUS highway. Now, compare to other mileage card (e.g.: MAS Enrich card, Asia Miles), we need to pay RM10 annual fee for this loyalty card.

To my opinion, PLUS is not really sincere this time given the timezone & annual fee for PLUSMiles loyalty card.
