Corridor Sur News about Tolls

Day 318 (Dia Trescientos dieciocho) Thursday (Jueves) - Panama City

Breaking news if you drive the Corridor Sur....

Beginning September 1, 2012, tolls payments on the South Corridor will be made only with the 'Surexpress' card. 

Rigoberto Effio, National Highway Company Administrator (ENA) has stated that the measure seeks to reduce long lines at the toll booths during rush hour.  

He says the electronic payment system will reduce the wait time by half (I am betting no but that is just one opinion) Currently, the sur express cards can be bought only at The Corredor Sur Delta Gas Station for $5 and can be recharged at the toll booths. 

The National Highway Company Administrator also stated they will be setting up 300 recharge points in major super markets in Panama city. For more information you can call 260-0433 ext. 2319 or 2320.

So there you have it, effectivo will NOT work after Sept 1st, so watch those airport runs folks, and get your electronic cards.
