The ICT administration has expanded its M-Tag network through setting up seven new installation points in the federal capital. The move is expected to help in reducing the traffic congestion on account of heavy rush of vehicles ahead of the scheduled M-Tag enforcement.
All new stations being added will have a 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., giving commuters a clear 12-hour window to touch in and out – which is required, according TransLink’s terms if purchase.
New M-Tag Install Stations (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.)
- Kachnar Park, I-8
- Islamabad Club
- Lake View Park
- F-9 Park
- Tarlai
- Gulberg Greens
- 26 Number Chungi
There is an M-Tag service counter also been instituted at Excise and Taxation Office, H-9 that would operate in a different time window – 3pm to 9pm – for coping with rush hours and extending facility of payment during evenings.
The expanded hours will help thousands of daily commuters to get through the process and not find themselves being slapped with delays at the last minute, the administration said.
