TOUCH 'N GO TARGETS ONE MILLION CARDS

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 20 (Bernama) -- Touch 'n Go Sdn Bhd aims to gain RM10
million by selling one million Touch 'n Go cards by year-end.

The company, which has 157 merchant outlets selling the card, planned to
increase the number to 1,500 outlets by end of this year, its chairman
Yahya Ya'acob said Friday.

He said the company was on track with its parking project to provide an
electronic payment system via the Touch 'n Go card.

"To date, we have partnerships with 32 parking sites, including the Kuala
Lumpur International Airport, KL Sentral, and the One Utama and Subang Parade
shopping malls," he told reporters after launching the Touch 'n Go "Beyond the
Roads" programme at KLCC here.

The company plans to increase the number of parking sites utilising the
Touch 'n Go card to 60 throughout the Klang Valley.

Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd's chief operating officer and general manager, Andrew
Brien, said he would expect half of its parking users to use the facilities
provided by Touch ' Go.

The KLCC parking sites have a total of 5,000 parking lots.

"We believe usage will be very high as it's really convenient and the
traffic in parking sites will be reduced by 75 percent as predicted," he said.

In conjunction with the launch, Touch 'n Go introduced a special "Beyond The
Roads" limited edition Touch 'n Go card which comes with a new look to appeal to
youth.
