Ways to reduce traffic in singapore

[Zhiwei933]

I am thinking by ncrease the COE price of car why don't they stop OPC system or try to minimize the OPC number cause nowday whenever on the road out of 5 deftinely there will be 1 OPC car and deftinely applied on the way to Johor.

cannot leh...OPC also contribute to gov revenue...how about install more ERP gantry..especially at all slip roads entering to all major expressway PIE, CTE, ECP, KPE, AYE, BKE, TPE, SLE...increase the charges to standard fee say $10 during peak hrs, $5 during off peak hrs.

agreed

another thread to target OPC again, don't understand what is in their mind, why must target OPC? As if OPC car owner get their car or usage without paying and cause 'others' to red eyes. Why don't they suggest reduct normal plate car which cause most of the jam?

To reduce traffic?

Are you paid millions to solve the solution?

 

People are paid millions to solve the housing and road problems.

If they can't do it will his million dollars salary, then what makes you so special? In fact they made it even worst.

 

There is no solution!!!

Look at Jakarta, China, Bangkok. There they are not worried about erections or salary, yet it cannot be solved.

 

Here, one small mistakes means million dollars salary gone leh....so all are yes men yes sir yes sir three bags full wayang kings.

Tom's right. Reduce the amount that can be loaned for a vehicle, as well as shorten the period.

 

What do you mean by "deftinely applied on the way to Johor"???

 

I think maybe they should switch all cars to OPC's as it means it will cost more to drive (for those that drive daily) as well

minimize the OPC number cause nowday whenever on the road out of 5 deftinely there will be 1 OPC car and deftinely applied on the way to Johor.

 

So 1 OPC car takes up more road space than 4 Normal cars?

Increasing COE is still the most effective but unpleasant mean. Hit the problem at its source. If so expensive and difficult to buy, sure less buying desire. Hence, fewer newly registered cars on the road.

Bro, increasing COE doesnt means it will work...

 

Ppl will still buy cars but maybe second hand cars...

 

In other words, it doesn't mean it will be a good idea for increasing COE....

 

Note that More and more ppl are getting richer, they have more spending power...

 

Thus if car is a "need" for them....They will still buy.

Yah lor, ah goh say stop compraining lah. You either step out of your house/office early or you step out late. Ask yourself why you cluster fxxk with so many others at the same timing?

[Jeffang]

i will hope they will up the ERP to $15-$20 base on the time, and put up more ERP everywhere...

those not too jam $5-$8... then that will cut down lot of car...

 

and those who need to travel, pay more, and so no jam... will be nice...

 

[Ferraricalifornia]

if you reduce max loan to 70% and must downpay the rest in cash,

 

sure,

 

things will return to pre 2005 levels....

 

but our garment wants goods to be sold....aka cars....

 

but to drive on the road will be a costly affair....

 

garment seperate the buying and cost of driving....

 

so still must be able to take 100% loan....

 

then cars will still be able to sell....

 

or else how to boost the economy???

[Ferraricalifornia]

what the gahmen should do is to up petrol duty tax,

 

up parking,

 

up everything to run a car....

 

so people still buy car,

 

but park at home,

 

becoming more obvious to be a status symbol....

[Watwheels]

The root of the problem is ppl gotto work/study all at the same damn timing. Even if you up the ERP and COE the problem will still persist simply becos the number of cars on the road now is already so many.

 

Topic already discussed countless times and yet still got ppl such as TS coming up with the same useless suggestion.
