actually ERP is the best system. remember, the key thing is usage that leads to jam.

 

if u consider all these:

 

1. COE discourages ownership; does not tackle usage problem. I can own 5 cars but do not contribute to jams

2. $6 per litre of petrol; does not tackle usage problem. I can travel 50km in 3am but do not contribute to jams

3. expensive parking fees; this one funny leh. i dun use the car and park most of the time. why tax me the most? i dun contribute to jams wat

 

 

As you can see, no single solution can solve all problems. However, in my sincere honest opinion, the ERP is the best system in place among all. It taxes owners who contribute to jams at a SPECIFIC time, eg 730am to 1030am.

 

Unfortunately, the ERP gantries do not tax enough to deter people from using. This is understandable as they wan to ROI faster on the cost of ERP gantries. This has another advantage as well. More users can use the road, however, at a compromise. which is why they emphasize that optimal traveling speed shld be a min of 40km/h

Actually I feel that it's not fair as the change of rules came in later. And the committee which is most likely aware that some residents have more dan one car. They should have come up some kind of compromise so that these residents have more dan one option to consider. Unless the condo has a lack of car park lots for its residents dan LL but there were no mention of it. I believe some ppl are just jealous of what others have that they dun.

 

IMO dun have to stay in landed property to park all 4 cars. HDB MSCP can also what, just have to pay season parking and provided there are plenty of lots available. :D

 

The change of rules is irrelevant. The pre-change rules allowed 2 cars max. They already let them park 4 cars. Even though the current rule limits it to one car, they're still allowed three cars. What right do they have to complain?

 

They should do what my friend did if they wanted more lots. Buy another unit.

not happy?, go buy a landed with a huge garage lor.....or, they can sell this penthouse away, buy the bishan penthouse and buy as many cars as they like since it's HDB and no problem with parking lot as long they buy the season parking..... [laugh]

 

Most landed properties also cannot fit 4 cars lah. Those that can will cost upwards of 10mil lor! These people are rich, but not that rich lah! Still wanna hao lian and kuai lan with the condo management <_< Really rich one will never have this problem, and even if they do, will never behave in such a silly, low-class manner either. Best suggestion is stay HDB for these bunch of fools... -_-

My sentiments are mostly the same, although I'm kind of sitting on the fence for point 2 as I suspect that the majority of vehicle owners do not use their cars in the wee hours of the morning. I do strongly agree that the ERP pricing is not high enough during the peak and the peak fringe timings.

Thanks for pointing it out. After so much debate, the main concern is still related to money. They can always buy season parking if there are still lots available and if they are allowed to. Why involve rights when money can be earned and the other party can be satisfied. It's a win-win situation. Anyway not all residents will have cars or more dan one car. I always think such problem arise is becos of face value and not becos of rights or lefts. It's just rules, since you mentioned they are irrelevant why even talk about rights when there are no such law to restrict ppl from having more dan one car? Right? :D
