Metrash was originally introduced in 2006 as an electronic service for mobile users only where upon subscription, residents could receive SMS messages regarding Traffic violation, RP expiry, License expiry etc.
In the initial years the service was not very popular as the registration was complicated and needed to access the MOI self service kiosks. Recently the process has been simplified and you can easily do it in S minutes with your smart phone.
