Rickster 5th Gear January 29, 2008 Share January 29, 2008 Quote Life is already so stressful in Singapore and now they are even trying to push people to the limit to have less sleep and wake up earlier and earlier to avoid the ERP so parents will have less time with children at night if they want to sleep at 8.00pm. Is this a gracious society as they want it to be ?! And what about the crap of family bonding etc etc .... No. They just want you to give up cars, thats all. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a gracious society as they want it to be ?! And what about the crap of family bonding etc etc .... Who ask u to stay in Bishan AMK, Punggol, Hougang, Sengkang etc? ? Actually dunno why the garment created so many estates which needs to use this expressway, contributing to congestion. Not v good town planning if u asked me. It only shows that the LTA and URA/HDB is not "communicating". LTA is trying to solve the big CTE headache, world class effeciency & standard. URA/HDB, not wanting to be outdone, erects estates along CTE also with world class speed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear January 29, 2008 Share January 29, 2008 Actually, if one were to analyse the total cost of car ownership, it is actually getting nearer to what a car used to cost 10 yrs ago (a corolla for 100+K!). SO i guess, soon, it will be back to that. Only the rich can afford to drive cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libox88 Neutral Newbie January 29, 2008 Share January 29, 2008 If the $$garment is going to have this mindset, then alot of ppl will be out of job especially those in sales, support or whoever needs a car for their job when they cannot support a car anymore. Then the unemployment rate will shoot up months after months ... do they want it to happen like this, I believe not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmical Clutched January 29, 2008 Share January 29, 2008 Quote a few gantries increase $0.50 Not surprising. 50 cents is not effective at all. The increase for the CTE gantry at 7 am is very telling. More people are now up earlier and earlier. Maybe the ERP has to start at 6:30 am to deter even more people! Do not underestimate Sporean man...they can wake up earlier than u thought just to save a few cents. Its a gd time to do morning workout. And Spore will turn into a ghost town at night becos all will sleep at 9pm...no more primetime movie lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed_ong Clutched January 29, 2008 Share January 29, 2008 Cars from AMK, Yishun, Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang, Hougang and Punggol uses CTE. The jam will only gets longer unless they increase 2 more lanes at both sides, open the KPE from TPE. Then might divert some traffic away from CTE. But only those staying in Punggol, Sengkang and Hougang will use KPE. The rest will still use CTE. There are always morning congesting at both TPE and CTE towards city.
