CITY OF MALOLOS—Not a single teller manning the tollbooths at the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) will be displaced when its operator uses cashless transactions starting Nov. 2, NLEx officials said on Friday. “Tellers who will be affected by lane automation will be reassigned to other areas of the tollways, including the new Skyway Stage 3 and the SMC Tollways’ RFID department,” said Jon Hernandez, SMC media affairs officer. The Skyway has 130 ETC (electronic toll collection)-capable lanes, while SLEx operates 134 ETC lanes. All 36 lanes at the Naiax and 58 lanes at Star tollway are ETC-capable. TPLEx has 37 ETC lanes but SMC intends to expand the number to 52.
