Johannesburg - The Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa) praised the SA National Taxi Council (Santaco) on its call to boycott the e-toll system.
"This is just another of many examples pointing to the onerous administrative conditions of e-tolling, which adds to the non-workability of this irrational plan," Outa chair Wayne Duvenage said on Monday.
"Santaco's call last week for a boycott of e-tolls is the most logical approach for them to take."
Duvenage said Santaco would be joining the ranks of well over a million other freeway users, who have not purchased e-tags and who have ignored Sanral's "ill-conceived plan".
By lowering its sights to a 60% compliance target, which Outa claims Sanral will be hard pressed to achieve, Outa said Sanral "has effectively acknowledged that not all users will pay".
"Our projections reveal that more users will remain untagged than tagged and that is a formula for disaster for e-tolls," said Outa spokesperson John Clarke.
