Furthermore, the decision has been taken to reduce the long lines of cars on toll plazas. It will also help reduce air pollution due to these traffic blockades.
How to Get an M-Tag?
The process of getting an M-Tag for your car is quite easy. You just have to visit the Toll Plaza booth on any motorway and visit the M-Tag issuance booth.
However, you must have your CNIC, Driving License and Vehicle Registration Book. Without these documents, police will not issue M-Tag for your vehicle. The good news is that there are no charges for getting a new M-Tag sticker for your car.
