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 Datuk Yahya Ya'acob said yesterday.

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

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 chief operating officer and general manager, Andrew Brien said he expected half of its parking users to use the Touch 'n Go facilities.

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