In the rollout of its automated payment system, the Demerara Harbour Bridge (DHB) is currently targeting vehicles with charge accounts before moving on to individuals, General Manager Wayne Watson yesterday stated.

“We are looking to register all those companies that have charge accounts with us. Once that is done we will be moving on to the registration of individuals… since the start of the process it has been going smooth,” Watson explained yesterday, hours after the system went online.

In a brief interview with Stabroek News, he explained that the initiative is one they are using to modernise and improve the efficiency of their services to customers. The system is also aimed at preparing drivers for the new toll system that will be put in place when the new Demerara Harbour Bridge becomes operational.
