Why haven’t you installed coin bins at the Bridge or Ferry?

These custom-made machines are not a good option in the particular environment at Tamar Bridge, where it is difficult for approaching vehicles to choose a lane and where transaction speed and reliability is critical in busy periods.

We have introduced a contactless card payment system in some lanes at the Tamar Bridge. For those who do not use contactless cards we will be introducing a range of some social distancing measures to enable staff in the toll booths to safely process cash. Drivers of cars and higher vehicles such as SUVs, coaches and HGVs will be able to safely deposit their coins and notes into a cup and stick tool allowing both driver and collector to maintain a distance of more than two meters. Collectors will also have mobile screens and we shall also be installing additional booth side letterboxes/chutes.
Social distancing cash handling tools have also been introduced at the ferry.
