First-generation Quick Pass will expire in December

Email this page

November 6th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) The first generation of Quick Pass devices, issued in 2010, will expire in December and must be exchanged.

 

The devices are used for automated toll collection on the Caldera, Cartago and Guapiles toll highways.

 

The specific date that each unit expires can be found on the bottom of the unit, next to the device’s serial number.

 

The company that issues the devices, ETC, said the devices expire every five years because the devices’ batteries and components begin to deteriorate.

 

The cost to exchange the device varies slightly depending on your bank.

    What has expired is the toll equipment itself. When it was first installed by a foreign company they worked great. (I have been using them almost everyday since the were installed) now the last 2 or more years they fail regularly. They are not being maintained at all. The only maintenance being done is to duck tape the broken gates after cars have smashed through them…err after they break the windshield of the cars that have passed. They should have a contract with the foreign firm that installed them to do maintenance because they cannot figure out how to do it. They do thousands of dollars worth of damage a day and backups are common, it’s dangerous. What a joke.

      Not a criticism as perhaps you just didn’t know. It’s actually Duct Tape, and was originally manufactured to be used to seal heating and cooling ducts.
