Apollo 1st Gear September 5, 2008 Share September 5, 2008 Sep 5, 2008 LTA may review plan on ERP gantries By Christopher Tan SENIOR CORRESPONDENT THE six additional electronic road-pricing (ERP) gantries slated to come online in November may not be activated at once, said Transport Minister Raymond Lim on Friday. Mr Lim, speaking at a Press Club luncheon, said traffic flow on several roads in the city has improved since the Land Transport Authority unveiled a slew of ERP changes in July. 'If this is sustained, then LTA will be happy to review the plan,' the Minister said. 'It may then need to put up only a few gantries rather than all six.' The new gantries are on Commonwealth Avenue, Jalan Bukit Merah, Serangoon Road, Alexandra Road, Ayer Rajah Expressway (westbound near Alexandra Road) and Pan-Island Expressway (westbound near Eunos). They were among two dozen or so gantries added to Singapore roads this year. Although the gantries have been built, not all have been switched on. In places where they are up and running, the impact has been noticeable. Five new ones along the Singapore River, along with extended operating hours for others, have improved travelling speeds in the city. Motorists who had been bracing themselves for the six new gantries are keeping their fingers crossed. http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_275568.html aiya. install liaoz mai activate? mike as well just tear down. waste $$. white elephant... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedyruby Neutral Newbie September 5, 2008 Share September 5, 2008 What's the rational? I pity the merchants & retailers at China town. Garment wants to make money, so does the retailers. Business = rice & butter. But what happen now? That shows that LTA did not do proper planning. The impact by putting ERP gantries will never solve traffic condition. Remember what Lim Swee Say and Hwee Hua says? "ERPs helps to ease traffic condition" add on to say we must change our driving habit. So what's next? building more and more gantties to make money and now the drivers & retailers suffer. What a lousy excuse to give by not turning on the rest of a gantries in Nov. Something is a miss. Our Mr Lim, I must salute you. Make a name for yourself and now you have become a laughing stock for planting so many gantries especially the one at china which kills alot of retailers. Good job & well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
