Familyonthemove Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 News report yesterday said that the Expressway Easy Pass and Motorway M-Pass cards are now interchangeable - anyone tried to use an Easy Pass card in the M-Pass toll-way booth yet? I don't want to be 'that person' who causes a huge queue by backing up out of the auto toll booth after finding my card wont work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It's not the card that does the business but the OBU (On Board Unit) or tag that sits up by your mirror. Not tried it personally, but a mate has reported that an EasyPass tag works just fine in an M-Pass lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes - I used the wrong description - my box on the windscreen is Easy Pass, the card is just for top up at 7-11. Good to hear they work OK in M-Pass, as I didn't want to get a second OBU stuck on the screen. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I also noted this evening that the EasyPass lanes at Bang Na now have EasyPass/M-Pass signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark5335 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I drove from Ekkamai to Kabin Buri and back on Tuesday (the first day of interchangeability of the toll passes). Went thru Easy Pass gates as well as M Pass gates using my Easy Pass. It was smooth and easy-peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Tried it to and from the northeast on the outer-ring road from the airport at the weekend and the easypass worked no probs (same can't be said for the traffic yesterday - 7hrs from khorat to BKK for a 4.5 hr journey, many traffic jams but the main one was in on Route 9 in Thanyaburi - avoid it and go the old route through rangsit on the elevated through BKK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why not. You have the card to top up each, and you don't need both now. When you bought them originally you will have provided personal and car details - not sure if you need to swap the details over to the other car - but I doubt it as people must buy new cars and move the unit all the time. Also - if you don't remove one, you may end up paying twice each time you go through a tollbooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I tried that, in my case it charged the newest device from M Pass After that I put the MPass in the glovebox and it charged the Easy pass device So both work in both boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
