M2 This Morning

[igor]

Hey, all. For those who took M2 citybound this morning, did your tag beep? Mine didn't as I went through the new toll plaza (drive through, no booths). I remember there was a hotline for those who think that their tag didn't work but I couldn't find it.

I called the RTA E-Toll(application) hotline and spent 25 minutes on hold(!!!) on my mobile (!!!). Then I hung up and called RTA number, got on the operator and she transferred me to the SAME QUEUE as I was before. I think I heard Dr. Carl about 20 times telling me to slow down. As that was happenning I went to the M2 site, which was down for half of the morning and found this pearler:

Q.: What happens if my tag doesn't work?

A.: Speak to your tag supplier.

F*ck*ng thanks.

So, my theory is that the tag readers do not work and they are having an influx of people calling them. Anyone?

My tag hasn't worked a couple of times on the M4 and I called them up. They just said to wait for the letter saying you didn't pay. The letter has a section you fill out with your tag and account number and you fax it in.

Not sure if its the same with the M2, but I assume it is.
