Recently, some citizens suggested canceling high-speed ETC and using license plate sensing payment for passage, which has sparked a heated discussion on the internet.
The Ministry of Transport has officially responded that ETC will not be cancelled. It remains an important means to ensure high-speed traffic efficiency and help reduce logistics costs. Car owners can voluntarily handle it online or offline. At the same time, the official announced the promotion of the "Mobile+" cardless convenient travel mode from 2026 to 2028, relying on license plate recognition to achieve card free and card free travel. By the end of 2026, the Chengdu Chongqing and Yangtze River Delta regions will be the first to achieve full coverage of this service, and gradually expand to ETC lanes in the future. The official statement states that high-frequency car owners can enjoy a 5% discount on ETC, while low-frequency car owners can choose to use cardless or manual channels, with multiple modes to meet different travel needs.
