Frankly I loved traffic jams. I give a lift to a chio colleague every other day, and traffic jams are made so much more enjoyable because there's good company.

I rather have the older policy, higher car prices, less COE, 30% downpayment, no ERP etc.

 

 

Better make it 50% down payment, max loan period permissible 5 years.

how about compare the price you pay for a car here and there?

there got ERP,COE..?

 

obviously the LTA had been doing nothing effectively but erecting more ERP gantries, raising the ERP rates and painting more bus lanes to create more jam so as to justify the reason to erect more ERP Gantries, happily hoping the jam will reduce.

and anticipating for their fat bonus every year.

 

what a good job.

Actually jam in sg is ok lah.

 

Maximum delay encountered on expressway so far is 30mins. Excluding jam at checkpoint.

 

I have been delayed in Bangkok for 1.5 hrs before. Really crazy. Lucky wasn't driving but in a taxi.

 

But i seriously hate delays by kuku drivers.

obviously the delays are caused by kuku drivers...

 

got one time major jam at sle towards woodlands around 1130pm. i was thinking wat the hell happen...this hour can also jam until so jialat.

 

Finally i know what happened, got accident. But accident was at the other direction from woodlands to city!!! So what are the kukus doing in front.... wanna buy 4D??!!!!

 

[Extramint]

it's always like that. singaporean's kaypo instinct at work here. opposite direction accident.. the direction you are travelling on, the cars move like infront also have accident. just wanna peek and maybe buy 4D. sometimes worse, later infront really kena accident, cuz all looking sideways.

[Babyt]

luckily my ICT at Jln boon lay is finishing soon. i do not need to drive from via PIE to my house in the east during peak hrs.

 

its dreadful to move stop move stop in the jam. i dont get into weekday jams often as my workplace is also located in the east.

[Chiangauto]

be patient always.

[Hermitage]

Of course I'm fed up with jams! Who isn't?! But driving in Singapore cannot avoid lah! Kuku drivers will always be kuku drivers, no matter how hard we try to rid our streets of them, they come back time and again like a particularly virulent strain of bacteria!

 

What to do? Patience lor...

Every morning the radio DJ will announce "Its is the usual jams along major expressways".

 

Patience...

 

Why are we getting used to the jam and not fixing the jam?

 

be grateful that singapore's "traffic jam", cars can still move, and you will still probably get to your destination within 2hr.. some countries you can be stationary for 4 hrs plus if you are lucky.

But, we are not so lucky in the sense that we are already TAXed to the MAX, milked until dried liao, and still have to endure jams.

With naggy aunties on board, when I get irritated by them I just drop gear from 5 to 3rd, and just wack the gas pedal hard. Strange the same thing can have different effect on aunties and ah-lians. Aunties will just keep quiet, face turn green and sit tight. Ah lians just love it and never seem to get enough of it. Wifey just look disgusted and say I show off

KPE only 70kmph already can have 3 cars collision, what do you think of Singaporean's driving skills?

Because they were not driving at 70kmph?

[Actan72]

Wat to do ???

Unless our cars have wings and can fly..

if not, it will always be a continous cycle that we have to go thru

The worst jam I've got, it took 1 hr to get from Punggol to Keppel, due to some chain collision at ECP on a rainy day. Can't really complain, there are good and bad days.
