The Ministry of Transport is working on a new draft circular which stipulates that the public will have a say on whether the locations of toll stations on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) roads are appropriate.
Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The has underlined the urgent need to repair dilapidated roads and bridges, saying that if the work is not done well, it could cause mortal danger.
The Ministry of Transport plans to install e-tags on 3.2 million motorised vehicles by the year-end in a bid to conduct electronic toll collection (ETC) at build-operate-transfer (BOT) stations in 2019.
Multiple transportation firms have proposed reducing the number of Build – Operate – Transfer (BOT) toll stations as well as road maintenance fees by 30 percent.
All Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) toll stations across the country have to install a system for automatic collection of fees by 2019 to ensure transparency.
