ISLAMABAD, Oct 21 (APP): Motorists and commuters travelling on Peshawar-Islamabad Motorway (M-1) have demanded early restoration of electronic toll collection system (e-tag). The frequent travellers on the Motorway say that e-tag system was best method to avoid long queues at the NHA interchanges, but it has been closed on the M-1. Tasawwar Shah, a motorist who travels almost daily from Attock to Islamabad to perform his duties told APP that after the closure of the e-tag lane at Burhan inter-change toll plaza he has to face long queue at the manual lanes which causes loss of precious time at exit of the motorway. He also said that with the separation of toll plazas of M-1 and Islamabad-Lahore Motorway at Islamabad, long queues have become a matter of routine as the old plaza had 12 booths at the exit while the new plaza has only six,that too lined in haphazard manner. He said that now he has to leave his home at least 30 minutes ahead of time to reach office in time, otherwise he gets late.
