Moja Expressway Company has introduced a USSD code to make payments while accessing expressway services.
Through a statement to newsrooms Moja says USSD *819# will grant users reliable access to a wide range of services on the go.
The newly introduced USSD will be the best option from other installations of the On-Board Unit for Electronic Toll Collection Service or Manual Toll Collection.
The MTC operates like a credit card and will be periodically topped up through electronic payments whereas motorists opting to use the ETC service, which offers fast and easy transit, are not subjected to many hitches.
The expressway seeks to decongest Mombasa Road, Uhuru Highway and Waiyaki Way but has experienced traffic since it was opened to the public.
The road has 11 tolling stations, 54 toll plazas, and 54 cameras, with 126 cameras inside the toll plazas.
The road is monitored with recordings being done at 30-minute intervals.
There’s a smart monitoring system that detects congestion, spillage, vehicle reversals, pedestrian crossing and emergencies.
The dual carriageway has 11 interchanges at Mlolongo, Standard Gauge Railway, JKIA, Eastern Bypass, Southern Bypass, Capital Centre, Haile Selassie Avenue, Museum Hill, Westlands, and James Gichuru Road.
