What does ETC bus mean?

[StCecilia]

ETC in automobiles stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. How ETC works: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established between the tag and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. Computer networking technology is then used to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the goal of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes green and low-carbon travel. Vehicles passing through toll stations without stopping can reduce noise and exhaust emissions, thereby decreasing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by reducing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
