Nova Dutra will not accept most credit cards

Categories: [ Money , News , Opinion ]

There are things there that you can not understand.

The Presidente Dutra highway is the busiest road in this country. It is administered by the concessionaire Nova Dutra , invoicing million with money from the tolls along the highway that connects the two largest cities, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

The tolls are expensive, but okay, the highway until it is well preserved.

One of the things that I thought was very cool in their system, is the fact that tolls accept credit cards. Only VISA, but that's okay.

Pay the toll card has a number of benefits, for example, is faster, you do not need to count the money while you're driving, facilitates control because it is charged on card and you only use when you need it.

I had to use the Dutra last weekend and to my surprise, I saw that huge notices were placed along the highway with the following message: from April 25 to Dutra no longer accept credit cards for payment of tolls.

How so?! One of the features I found most interesting will be canceled?!

Of course, the country where the bad habit of wanting to take advantage of everything is worshiped, there is a justification for such an act.

Pay the toll with a credit card to another system competes New Dutra, the "No Stopping" . In this system, the user buys credits to pass without stopping at the toll plazas of the highway. So far so good, it is a legal service for those using the highway frequently. But why not keep the two systems? Greed was louder, of course.

The system "No Stopping" generates far more profit and therefore the payment card will be banned. It's the only explanation.

And they say that this country is developing!

    Good morning! Every day, -4.30 + / 5.00 am, cross the footbridge in the stretch SP / RIO, 1 km from the toll, I note that there is a burning lamp that has spanned more than four months and so far everything is still in full darkness. Today, completing the crossing (quite dark) I had the unpleasant surprise of the wet Sapar, pants, socks, all in the face of the existence of puddles of water that accumulated at that location, there being few people who suffer the same hassle. Companies that are at the Garden where the Alamo, and landed on the street is clear of all the water gets accumulated in final.Dá to provide lighting and have to see what's going on? Understand this as constructive criticism and user who wants the good of all. Already I am grateful for the attention he is given. Osmar .- (011) 2605-9368 -3938-4325 -

    I wonder what value will be paid in tolls coming out of Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo, and if there is more to pay with VISA card, I have a certain urgency to go to Sao Paulo but wonder how I'll have to be available at values in tolls and if you really do not accept more cards. Already look back with urgency. Att Thereza Cobra

    Thereza

    They no longer accept VISA. If I am not mistaken, is a 4 tolls value of eight real and something. That's about it. Who made a recent trip more can you confirm.

    Regards and good trip.
