As responsible citizens, we need to pay tolls now and then for the privilege of driving on smooth, obstacle-free roads. The introduction of FASTag IDs has created quite a buzz among daily commuters or road trip enthusiasts like me. After all, it has been made compulsory from 16th February 2021 onwards, without which, I would need to pay double the toll amount.
