KUALA LUMPUR – PLUS Malaysia Bhd advises motorists to carefully plan their journey and to expect longer travelling time during the Maulidur Rasul public holiday as 1.9 million vehicles are expected to fill the highways each day from Friday till Monday.

PLUS Operations Excellence head Mohd Yusuf Abdul Aziz said the highway conglomerate has recorded daily traffic volumes averaging 1.7 million vehicles since moving to the endemic phase with spikes of 1.9 million vehicles before each weekend.

“We expect with more travellers taking advantage of the three-day weekend, traffic will be higher and a longer journey can be expected. Therefore, we advise highway customers to be prepared and ensure their vehicles are fit for a longer drive this weekend.

“Before entering the highway it’s best to top up your Touch ‘n Go card and check that your e-wallet (for RFID users) has sufficient balance and to avoid any inconvenience when passing through the toll plazas,” he said in a statement today.
