If it is an ETC card linked to a bank debit card, it can be processed immediately. You can then proceed to the designated location to install the electronic tag, and the entire process can usually be completed on the same day. If it is an ETC credit card, a separate application is required, which will take longer. Generally, applying for a credit card takes at least 7 days or more. Benefits of installing ETC: Saves time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes green and low-carbon travel. Vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improves efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
