DHAKA, March 29, 2022 (BSS) - The postal department's Mobile Financial Services Nagad and the business organization Orion Infrastructure Limited have inked an agreement to reduce traffic congestion at the toll plaza of the country's longest Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover.

 From now on, customers will be able to cross the flyover by purchasing toll through 'Nagad,' eliminating the need for on-the-spot toll payments.

The agreement was recently signed at a program held at the Sayedabad Janpath Mor in Dhaka, at the premises of Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover Central Plaza, said a press release.

Managing Director of Orion Infrastructure Ltd. Salman Obaidul Karim and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nagad Rahel Ahmed signed the agreement from their respective organizations.

Under the agreement, customers will now be able to travel freely across the Mayor Hanif Flyover's 8 entrances by pre-purchasing toll through Nagad.

To avail this facility customer must first visit the flyover website (https://mmhf.com.bd/) and pay BDT 100 (per vehicle) in order to complete the initial registration.

This registration cost is also payable through Nagad. After completing the initial registration process, customers have to collect RFID stickers or tags from the Central Plaza at Sayedabad Janpath Mor and affix them to their vehicles.

The registered commuters will be able to cross directly through the flyover's 8 exits by automatic scanning of the RFID sticker attached to the vehicles.

Commenting on the agreement, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nagad Ltd. Rahel Ahmed said, "To make Bangladesh a completely digital country, I believe it is vital to incorporate transportation and communication management into digital services. With that in mind, we are thrilled to be a part of the Hanif Flyover's online toll collecting process. We anticipate that our service will also help to reduce traffic congestion on the Hanif Flyover."
