Duckduck Turbocharged November 3, 2007 Share November 3, 2007 6th ave in the peak hours can be super jammed thats y need ERP gantry. Unless they charge like $5, the richies staying wont be deterred & the others going to work from exiting eng neo PIE will continue to form the congestion in the mornings. this might end up as bi-directional erp gantry!

W210k 1st Gear November 3, 2007 Share November 3, 2007 (edited) Putting up ERP gantries in Upper Bukit Timah, Hillview and Clementi sections is basically to prevent non-elites and their cars from plugging up the arterial roads servicing the higher-class, elite areas of Holland Road and Bukit Timah areas lah. Not so nice right? So need to look for atlernative route lor! Edited November 3, 2007 by W210k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismobabe Neutral Newbie November 4, 2007 Share November 4, 2007 I thought there's already one ERP gantry right after the junction near Hume park? I drove past last Fri nite and saw it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curahee 1st Gear November 4, 2007 Share November 4, 2007 I agree. Even raise to 20 bucks per entry those rich ppl also dun mind, their house alone already over a million, their car can let us buy a flat. Its juz to prevent those HDB ppl from bukit panjang, CCK, Bukit Batok ppl from using tat road and contribute to the jam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I have seen "Operation Counting" like you mentioned on the road, on overhead bridge and on selected carpark entry. Carpark which are shortlisted by this operation will have CASHCARD parking (instead of Coupon parking) soon after they finished the survey. Well , I believe that they realised that revenue from ERP is much more lucrative comapred to COEs, Road tax and other taxation. In 1996, transport white paper, it has stated that eventually more cars will be allowed but charges will be based on usage. You can own a beautiful car but it will pain/burn your pocket when you use it. Get used to it, switch to public transport and there, they will find ways to skin your pocket again. example : feeder bus to interchange, take mrt to town, take bus again to connecting bus stops, wait for connecting bus, take again bus to destination (whole trip make you spend at least S$5 ONE WAY). NO escaping, if you choose to stay around town area (thinking can save transport $$$), they will price their flat really high (4rm flat at telok blangah for S$ 400,000.00). Still make $$$ from you irregardless you are. We're little pawns slogging hard our entire life for the red & white flag ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
