5 Comments on TRANSIT’s prediction comes to life. Sadly, Klang is becoming a “pass-through” town

TRANSIT took note of two very interesting photos posted to the Skyscrapercity.com forum showing the PJS 5 and Pantai Dalam (Timur) toll plazas on the New Pantai Expressway. The photos are notable because of the toll gate structure designed to allow buses to pass through the TAG lane.
