A big game changer to ensure higher compliance on Gauteng’s open-road toll network (GORT) is to find a solution for the historic debt accumulated within the system, says Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) CEO Coenie Vermaak. He says research done within ETC has shown that a number of people are willing to start paying e-tolls, but that they are overwhelmed with the “R30 000 to R40 000 bill they have outstanding. It seems easier to try and hope it will go away”.
