Is it really necessary for cars to be equipped with ETC? What will be the consequences of not pretending?

For example, a certain expressway has a slogan stating that vehicles that are not equipped with ETC and do not respond to the country’s call are not welcome to use the expressway. In order to allow everyone to apply for ETC, some expressways only have one artificial entrance, and there are long queues of cars on the expressway. Many friends have no choice but to apply for ETC.

Now the country encourages the installation of ETC, which can save some labor and can indeed increase the traffic rate of vehicles and avoid congestion at toll stations. This original intention is definitely good, especially during holidays , there are often a large number of vehicles blocked in the manual toll lane, which greatly affects the vehicle traffic rate.

But why do some people still refuse to install ETC?

On the one hand, some people rarely use expressways, and even if they apply for ETC, they hardly use it. On the other hand, applying for ETC requires a credit card, and everyone is quite sensitive to credit cards. Another point is that ETC recharge cannot be recharged directly from the card. You need to go to the bank, which is also troublesome. Of course, this situation is rare.

In fact, in my opinion, the biggest reason is to reduce labor costs. How many toll stations are there in the country? According to the past, each toll station would have 2-4 manual toll channels, and the charging efficiency was low. The traffic of one car is very slow, which will cause a lot of effort and appear to be inefficient.

Of course, even if ETC is not installed, there will be no consequences. You can still use the expressway, because even if all-lane ETC is implemented, a manual toll lane will be reserved. But judging from the current situation, the manual channel It will definitely cause crowding. As for whether it is necessary to install ETC on the car, it still depends on personal needs. If you often travel on the expressway, then apply for ETC. It is really convenient. It is very fast to get on and off the expressway, and there is almost no need to wait. At present, it is basically free of charge, which is a good opportunity. If you don't drive much on the highway, there's no need. ?
