2.12 million cars to hit expressways during Christmas, year-end holiday
PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) has stated that it expects a 14% increase in traffic volume on its expressways, with the number of vehicles reaching 2.12 million per day compared to 1.85 million on normal days during the Christmas and year-end holidays from December 20 to January 2 next year.
In light of this, PLUS advises highway users to plan their journeys in advance and to obtain their digital travel itinerary via MyPLUS-TTA.
“This digital travel schedule aims to make it easier for people to plan their journey, as well as help distribute traffic for a smoother and more comfortable journey.
“It is also to prevent vehicles from accumulating in one location on the highway at the same time and possibly getting stuck in traffic,” the statement reads.
Alternatively, highway users can also access the latest traffic information through the Virtual Assistant – PUTRI, the X@plustrafik app, electronic signboards (VMS) at selected locations, or through major national radio station channels.
“The public can also contact the PLUSLine at 1800-88-0000 if they require assistance in case of an emergency. We also recommend using the PLUS app, Waze, or Google Maps to plan and check the current traffic status during this festive season,” it added.
