From December 1 until January 11, RFID stickering will be conducted around the clock (24 hours) at the tollgates. This means those cars without RFID can line up at any lane they choose. If necessary, all toll lanes may be converted to stickering lanes after December 1. There will be dedicated RFID installation lanes for this, and there are tollgate personnel who will assist you. If you don’t have RFID by December 1, then you may have an RFID tag installed at the tollgate. If the slots in the online appointment system are full, there’s no need to panic. QUESTION #3: There are motorists who are now panicking since the online appointment schedule is now mostly full.

Good news: The Department of Transportation doesn’t want people to panic. In fact, we just got a message from a province-based reader who was fretting about his trip to Metro Manila by the second week of next month. Predictably, as the date draws nearer, countless motorists are panicking. By December 1st, the tollways will officially make the shift to cashless transaction, which means you will not be able to use any of the expressways if your car doesn’t have a legit RFID sticker or tag.
