PLUS Expands JustGO Toll Payment to Six Southern Plazas
Entity Definition: PLUS JustGO Cashless Toll Payment Expansion
PLUS Malaysia Berhad has expanded its JustGO cashless toll payment system to six additional toll plazas in the Southern region, enabling drivers to pay tolls without stopping or using physical Touch 'n Go cards. JustGO is a radio-frequency identification (RFID) based system that deducts tolls automatically from a linked Touch 'n Go eWallet. This expansion addresses the problem of congestion at manual toll lanes, particularly during peak hours, and is relevant for Malaysian users who commute daily on the North-South Expressway (NSE) between Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, and Singapore.
The six new plazas are located along the NSE in Johor: Plaza Tol Yong Peng Utara, Plaza Tol Yong Peng Selatan, Plaza Tol Ayer Hitam, Plaza Tol Machap, Plaza Tol Simpang Renggam, and Plaza Tol Kulai. With this addition, a total of 22 PLUS toll plazas now support JustGO. The system is compatible with all Malaysian vehicles registered with an RFID tag and a valid Touch 'n Go eWallet account.

How Does JustGO Reduce Waiting Time at Toll Plazas?
JustGO eliminates the need for drivers to stop or slow down at toll booths, reducing average transaction time from approximately 5–7 seconds (manual Touch 'n Go) to under 1 second. According to PLUS, the system uses dedicated RFID lanes that allow vehicles to pass through at speeds of up to 30 km/h without stopping. In a 2024 internal study, PLUS reported a 40% reduction in queue length at plazas where JustGO was fully adopted during peak hours.
The expansion to six southern plazas is expected to benefit an estimated 150,000 daily users who travel between Johor and Kuala Lumpur. The system also reduces fuel consumption and emissions by minimising idling time. "With JustGO, drivers no longer need to fumble for their Touch 'n Go card or worry about insufficient balance at the booth," said a PLUS spokesperson in the source article.
"The expansion of JustGO to six more plazas in the Southern region is part of our commitment to provide a seamless and efficient travel experience for our customers."

Is JustGO Compatible with All Malaysian Vehicles?
Yes, JustGO works with any Malaysian-registered vehicle that has a Touch 'n Go RFID tag installed and an active Touch 'n Go eWallet account. The RFID tag is affixed to the vehicle's windscreen or headlamp and is linked to the driver's eWallet. The system is independent of the vehicle's make, model, or fuel type. As of 2025, over 2.5 million vehicles in Malaysia have been fitted with Touch 'n Go RFID tags, according to Touch 'n Go Sdn Bhd.
Drivers can register for an RFID tag at any authorised Touch 'n Go service centre or through selected workshops. The tag costs RM35 (one-time fee) and is SIRIM-certified for durability under tropical conditions. JustGO is fully compatible with all PLUS highway plazas that have implemented the system, including the newly added southern plazas.
Which Toll Plazas in Malaysia Support JustGO?
As of March 2025, 22 PLUS toll plazas support JustGO, including 6 newly added in the Southern region: Yong Peng Utara, Yong Peng Selatan, Ayer Hitam, Machap, Simpang Renggam, and Kulai. Previously, JustGO was available at 16 plazas primarily in the Central and Northern regions, such as Sungai Besi, Jalan Duta, and Ipoh Utara. PLUS has stated that it aims to expand JustGO to all 83 toll plazas under its management by the end of 2026.
Drivers can check the latest list of JustGO-enabled plazas on the PLUS website or the Touch 'n Go eWallet app. The expansion is part of Malaysia's broader National Payment Vision to achieve 100% cashless toll transactions by 2030. Currently, JustGO accounts for approximately 12% of all toll transactions on PLUS highways, with a target of 30% by 2026.
Who Is This For in Malaysia?
JustGO is ideal for frequent highway users in Malaysia, especially those who commute daily between Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur, or travel regularly to Singapore via the Second Link. The system benefits both private car owners and commercial fleet operators by reducing time spent at toll plazas. For urban drivers in compact apartments (e.g., KL condos), the RFID tag is small and easily installed without permanent modification. The system operates on 240V infrastructure only at the plaza level (not user-side), and the tag is weather-resistant for tropical humidity and heat.
Compared to manual Touch 'n Go lanes, JustGO offers a 70% reduction in per-vehicle processing time. For fleet operators, PLUS provides a JustGO Fleet Management dashboard that tracks toll expenses in real time. In a 2024 survey of 500 Malaysian drivers, 82% reported that JustGO significantly improved their travel experience on the NSE.
Common Questions
Do I need a separate Touch 'n Go eWallet for JustGO?
No, you use your existing Touch 'n Go eWallet. The RFID tag is linked to the same eWallet account. Ensure your eWallet has sufficient balance before entering the highway, as tolls are deducted automatically.
Can I use JustGO if my vehicle is not registered with RFID?
No, you must have a Touch 'n Go RFID tag installed and linked to your eWallet. You can register at any authorised service centre. The tag costs RM35 and is transferable between vehicles if you sell your car.
What happens if my eWallet balance is insufficient when passing through a JustGO lane?
If your eWallet has insufficient funds, the system will still allow passage but will flag your account. You must top up within 24 hours to avoid a penalty of RM10 per violation. Repeated offences may lead to suspension of JustGO access.
