Pada 2018, sebagai langkah menggalakkan orang ramai beralih ke Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang untuk keluar dan masuk ke Singapura, kadar tol waktu luar puncak telah diperkenalkan kepada pengguna lebuh raya di Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang. Namun begitu, walaupun sudah melebihi 5 tahun pelaksanaan, langkah tersebut kurang mendapat sambutan dan berdasarkan rekod, jumlah trafik harian yang menggunakan Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang didapati masih sama sepertimana dicatatkan sebelum kadar waktu luar puncak tersebut ditawarkan. Tiada sebarang peningkatan trafik ketara di waktu luar puncak bagi Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang.
Data trafik juga menunjukkan lebih daripada 50% daripada kenderaan yang menikmati kadar tol waktu luar puncak di Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang merupakan kenderaan bernombor pendaftaran Singapura.
Justeru itu, PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) ingin memaklumkan bahawa mulai 1 Mac 2023, kadar tol waktu luar puncak di Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang akan diselaraskan kepada kadar biasa. Dengan penyelarasan ini, pengguna semua jenis kenderaan yang melalui Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang di lebuh raya Linkedua akan membayar tol dengan kadar biasa sepertimana kadar yang dicajkan pada waktu puncak pada ketika ini.
Pada masa yang sama, PLUS menasihatkan pengguna yang melalui Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang supaya memastikan mereka mempunyai baki kad Touch ‘n Go dan RFID yang mencukupi bagi mengelakkan kesulitan di lorong tol.
*Mulai 1 Mac 2023, tiada lagi kadar tol waktu Luar Puncak ditawarkan. Sebaliknya, kadar tol diselaraskan kepada kadar biasa, iaitu kadar Waktu Puncak yang dilaksanakan ketika ini.
STANDARDIZATION OF TOLL RATES AT TANJUNG KUPANG TOLL PLAZA STARTING MARCH 1, 2023
PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) will reinstate the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza off-peak rate back to the original standard toll fare from 1st March 2023. With this standardization, all vehicles passing through the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza on the Linkedua highway will be charged as per the present peak hour rates.
PLUS advises highway users passing through the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza to have sufficient balance in their Touch 'n Go card and RFID e-Wallet for a smoother journey.
The off-peak hour toll rates were introduced in 2018 at the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza as part of a move to encourage the public to utilise the toll plaza to exit and enter Singapore.
However, after more than 5 years of its implementation, the move received lukewarm response from highway users and based on data, the number of daily vehicles at the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza remained identical to the traffic volume recorded before the off-peak hour toll rates were offered. There has been no significant increase in traffic during off-peak hours at the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza till today.
Traffic statistics also indicate that more than 50% of the vehicles during off-peak hours at the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza are Singapore registered vehicles.
*From March 1, 2023, Off-Peak hours toll rates will be no longer offered. The Off-Peak Hours toll rates will be adjusted to the original normal rates, which are the current Peak Hour rates.
