Tayv 1st Gear January 6, 2013 Share January 6, 2013 Is it so important to know why that carpark no gantry? End of the day, still have to pay, whether is it cashless or by coupon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfguy 1st Gear January 6, 2013 Author Share January 6, 2013 cashless more convenient, don't worry how many coupons to put, how many to tear,,come on,,, I believe you all drive you'll know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cud b ty still keep a few cp in every area which use coupon fr those cars/bikes no erp reader or cashcard. Some foreign vehicles still dun hv erp reader or sg vehicle cashcard not enough cash.

Maybe only vehicles from foreign embassy/consulate do not need to install cash card reader, Moreover, don't those gantry system also allow slotting in of cashcard? I have actually used some like that before when somehow, the IU detection fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfguy 1st Gear January 6, 2013 Author Share January 6, 2013 I go one of Jurong West market/hawker centre quite often, there are a lot of car parks without gantry yet but there is one that is slightly further away with gantry installed. I usually park there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many msian cars/bikes dun hv erp reader cos ty dun need to pass under erp gantry. Cost abt $150 to fit e reader which ty consider to expensive.

Mcfguy 1st Gear January 6, 2013 Author Share January 6, 2013 (edited) Second that, there are still plenty of car parks that do not operate by gantry. Slowly, I believe, all will have gantry installed. The coupon system is outdated. Moreover, it's vulnerable to coupon cheating and litter. I just find it wierd that stretch of carparks at Clementi Ave 2 all have gantries installed except the particular one I mentioned. Moreover, there is one other carpark just directly opposite with gantry installed. Would have been more cost effective to do together since it's directly across the road.

So far, I have no need to slot in cash card in HDB carpark gantries. Didn't pay attention if there is this feature. Will remember to look out next time I use it. Actually, malaysian vehicles/motorcycles don't need to install IU. They can rent one at TUAS or Woodlands checkpoint. Unless, they chose to pay fixed ERP.

Watwheels Supersonic January 6, 2013 Share January 6, 2013 (edited) It could be some of the residents there maybe driving class 4 vehicles. The height of the vehicle or where the IU is situated is above the scanner? And there are no heavy vehicle carpark in the area. Not all residents drive passenger cars mah. Oh yeah, I forgot most here are anti commercial vehicle wan. Why would they think so far ahead? My bad. Nevermind.

You think gantry solve all problems? Some pple go into gantry car park will think they are entitled to park anywhere they want. In season parking, beside the road, nearest to wherever they are going. I've seen it all. In the end still need warden to jaga. Contrary to what you think, it is not more cost effective. It just makes it more convenient no need to tear coupon.
