SaintHilary: Right from inception (c2011 for the expressway and 2013 for the bridge) users have had the options of using either the swiftpass system or the etag system. A sticker is put on your windshield for the etag system and the camera reads the sticker and debits your account as you pass. This means that you don't need to stop at all. The swiftpass system requires the use of a card that you swipe against a sensor at the toll both. These two systems, along with the exact change lane and the regular lane (where you pay in cash and are given your change), have existed since the beginning. The only difference now is that they are scrapping the cash lanes on the bridge. |

The main reason for this is to eliminate the traffic caused by people stopping for change, but the problem is that non-residents of the area will now be forced to use the expressway instead of the bridge. |

EponOjuku:. Cbn gives any business the autonomy to decide on which mode of payment they prefer. It is called risk limit. If I dont want cash you cant force it on me. Go and exchange you legal tender with units for etag which is acceptable at the toll. Dont be stubbornly ignorant. |

Already, since January this year, LCC has stopped collecting cash on the swiftpass lane. There are people whose accounts are empty, but they are unaware that their accounts are empty. They attempt to use the swiftpass lane, but their card is rejected. They then opt to pay cash and then hold up the line while waiting for change. Therefore, LCC decided that they were not going to accept cash on the swiftpass lane. This means that you have to reverse and use another lane if your card is rejected. I expect that there will be chaos on the bridge in the first few weeks of January because lots of people will have to reverse. |

I have etag for the toll plaza on the expressway and I pay cash at the toll plaza on the bridge. I was surprised when I got to the toll plaza on the bridge last week and the boom went up as I was about to pay. The operator said, "You have etag". I said, "Yeah for the expressway" and he said, "You can now use your etag for the otherside here". |

cenaman: According to the article, it will only be implemented at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. It won't be implemented at the Admiralty Plaza toll gate. |

OJLion: Danfo buses have been banned from that bridge since it was built. The yellow and black danfo buses are not allowed into Lekki Phase 1. The estate has its own white shuttle buses and even the Lekki shuttle buses are not allowed on the bridge. That's why some people prefer the bridge, because they don't have to jostle with crazy danfo drivers. Note that, according to the article, this cashless policy will only be applied on the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge. It won't be applied on the expressway. |

Kobicove: This is the big question. I predict that there will be chaos on January 1st and I'm going to go to the bridge to watch it happen. In the long term, non-residents will be forced to use the expressway, rather than the bridge. |

Re: No More Cash Payment At Lekki Toll From 2020 by naptu2: 10:15am On Dec 03, 2019 |
This is the way that you pay without cash. 1) E-tag: There's a sticker on your windscreen, like the sticker in the first picture below. There's also a camera at the toll booth. The camera reads your sticker which identifies who you are. The system immediately communicates with your LCC account and debits it and lifts the boom to allow you through the toll gate. This means that you can pass through the toll gate without stopping. 2) Swiftpass: You have one of the cards in the second picture below. You swipe the card against a sensor at the toll booth and your account is debited and it lets you through the toll gate. There are two cards in the second picture. That's because there were two tolling companies when Governor Fashola set up the system. There was the Lekki Concession Company, which was in charge of collecting toll at the Admiralty Circle Plaza (on the Lekki-Ikoyi Expressway) and the Lekki Tolling Company, which was in charge of collecting toll on the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. Governor Ambode cancelled the Lekki Tolling Company's concession and handed it over to the Lekki Concession Company. There are two benefits of this cashless policy on the bridge and one potentially very serious problem. The first and obvious benefit is that traffic will flow faster because people won't stop at the toll plaza to collect change. The second benefit has to do with LCC's practice of closing some toll gates during rush hour. One of the biggest criticisms of LCC is that they leave some gates closed (both on the expressway and on the bridge) even during rush hour. I've always wondered why they do this. Do they gain any benefit from the traffic jams? The it finally hit me. The fewer toll gates that are open = the less wages they'll have to pay. The fact that the system is now automated might mean that they can afford to leave the gates open all the time. There's a potentially really big problem that they might have to address. I hate using the Admiralty Circle Plaza if the e-tag gate is not working. Yet, oftentimes the e-tag gate is not working during rush hour because their systems are down. Are they sure that they will be able to keep their systems running continuously now? They should realise that some people are going to approach the toll plaza without any cash, since you can no longer pay with cash. What happens to those people if the system breaks down? 1 Like 1 Share

EponOjuku:There are toll gates in the US that are 100% electronic so is the $ no longer the legal tender over there. |

planetx: It's a law, not a practice. The CBN Act in Nigeria states something and you're talking about tolls in the US. Is it the same law that guides the CBN that guides the Federal Reserve? |

EponOjuku: You are free to exchange your naira legal tender for units for the etag. That fully satisfies this requirement. So if they fully automate this tollgate, you will stand like a mugu and argue with robots? |

Lagos state and under cover discrimination. I initially thought what a dumb thing to do. It will cause traffic and there is no way we are ready for cashless anything. Then i realized the point is to prevent people who don't belong. Imagine you are coming from ibadan. Should you have to buy an e-tag for a single visit? This massively reduces the type of people that will come to the area. I wonder who they are trying to keep out. Same with the no head cover for muslim girls in state schools. It wasn't anti mulism it was anti hausa. Until the kids went to court No okada in some areas. Same . Reduces thieves using okada. No more selling land in lagos island. Lagosians aren't outright discriminatory. It is very subtle and layered. |

This is what section 20 of the CBN act says. 20. –(1) The currency notes issued by the Bank shall be legal tender in Nigeria https://www.cbn.gov.ng/OUT/PUBLICATIONS/BSD/2007/CBNACT.PDF The LCC toll is paid in Naira. It is not paid in pounds, euros or deutsche marks. The toll is calculated in naira, not in French francs or in rands. The only difference with this policy is that you pay in advance. You pay in advance at the LCC office or at the bank, but what you pay is naira, not pounds, lira or yen. The currency that you exchange is naira. It's just like when you are asked to pay for something at the bank and bring proof of payment (a bank teller). |
