10% toll discount for using highways from midnight to 7am starting from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2010. We Malaysian been struggling from paying a high fee of toll and now they decide to give discount on only midnight to 7AM?
For my opinion, this is not a good idea. Just imagine people who travel and reach Ipoh toll by 11:55PM. They will wait at beside of the road for the time to reach 12AM. Means that the road will congest with cars and accident might happen because of this.
Another thing is the discount only start by midnight means that there will be more people driving during midnight to 7AM. This will get people to force themselves driving and might increase chances of getting unnecessary accident like fall a sleep when driving.
And people who force themselves to make it get the discount they will try to speed up the time to make in before 7AM. Means speeding problem will be more along the highways for discount period.
If really want to give out discount, why not just generously give up 10% all day long? And don’t make people choose they time of travel?
But after all, this is really something better than nothing for Malaysian who always using highway like me.
