KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will be implementing a congestion charging system in the city centre after the mass rapid transit (MRT) Line 1 commences operations. “We will implement (road pricing). If you go into the city centre at a certain time, [which] causes congestion, you have to pay,” she added. The scheme was subsequently extended to major expressways with the Road Pricing Scheme. In 1998, the Electronic Road Pricing replaced the previously manual ALS for restricted zones and Road Pricing Scheme for expressways.
