HGS toll-collection switch for Bosphorus and Fatih bridges in Istanbul

All toll-collection systems on Istanbul's Bosphorus and Fatih Bridges have been converted to HGS. The new system offers instant toll payment on roads and bridges without having to wait at counters thanks to a device attached to the vehicle's windscreen, as well as 20% discount on fares. However, there are concerns that a lack of counters on the bridges might cause problems for European drivers driving through Istanbul.
