To meet the needs of individual motorists, Vehicle Owners can choose to use Class Tag (e.g. not able to get a new Vehicle Tag to replace the damaged one in time while have to use tolled tunnel). In order to detect and match the vehicle classes of the vehicles passing through the tunnel and charge the toll appropriately by HKeToll system, the Class Tags are classified by 9 vehicle types. The motorist must purchase the Class Tag that matches the vehicle class of his/her vehicle.
Q19: 
Will the HKeToll system and Autotoll system charge the tolls in duplication?
Autotoll (Electronic Toll Collection System) and HKeToll are two separated systems that will only charge tolls from their labels or toll tags respectively. When HKeToll is implemented, its existing manual toll booths and Autotoll lanes will be decommissioned. Vehicle Owner will need to pay the toll via HKeToll. From the period of switching over to “HKeToll”, every traffic direction of each tunnel will not contain the system of “HKeToll” and “Autotoll” at the same time. Thus, it will not occur the situation of charging double tunnel tolls. Meanwhile, Vehicle Owners can install both Toll Tag of HKeToll and a tag of Autotoll on the windshield of your vehicle simultaneously by keeping them at least 10cm apart.
Q20: 
What are the differences between vehicle tag and class tag in terms of payment method?
The payment means are different. Using a Vehicle Tag, the motorists could link a credit card, bank account etc that will have autopay function. The motorist can check the transaction and payment records in the account. On the other hand, the Class Tag can be topped up by cash in convenience store and customer service centers only.
Q21: 
How do the Commercial Vehicle Company and Commercial Vehicle driver split toll payment?
The split toll payment could be arranged in 3 ways.
1) Mobile app: the owners / agents have to create HKeToll account and input the commercial vehicle and driver information in HKeToll account. The driver has to create their own HKeToll driver account. Matching between the commercial vehicle and the driver must be done before the driver starts working and keep connecting throughout the working hours. Tunnel toll will be deducted through the HKeToll driver account. The driver just needs to logout the HKeToll driver account when off duty.
2) Monthly statement: when the owners / agents create HKeToll account and input the commercial vehicle and driver information in HKeToll account, they could check the electronic statement with transaction of each vehicle for splitting toll payment with drivers.
3) Two-piece device: this includes a piece of commercial driver card and the card stand. There is stored value amount in commercial driver card. The driver need to insert the commercial driver card to card stand when starts working, tunnel toll will be deducted from the commercial driver card when passing tunnel accordingly. The driver just needs to take out commercial driver card from card stand when off duty. The fee is applied as two-piece device is an extra option. The commercial driver card and the card stand could be purchased separately. The commercial driver could purchase a commercial driver card for toll payment purpose while the owners / agents could purchase the card stand of each vehicle.

How to ensure the personal data privacy?
Vehicle Tag only stores two digital information, namely “Toll Tag Identification Number” and processed “Vehicle Identification Number”. Those two numbers are serial numbers which are used to identify the vehicle but not the vehicle registration mark. Vehicle Tag does not store any information of the Vehicle Owner, such as name or the address of the Vehicle Owners. In addition, “Class Tag” stores the information of vehicle class apart from the “Toll Tag Identification Number” and processed “Vehicle Identification Number”, which also does not contain any information of vehicle owner.

All personal data collected shall only be used for collecting or recovering toll fees. The Toll Service Provider shall duly comply with The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486), to handle the information that must be collected, held and used for the implementation of HKeToll. Only authorized Government personnel and Toll Service Provider personnel would be able to access the information for the purpose of official duties.
