SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has just opened a new S$2 million gallery showcasing the past, present and future.

 

It starts with a look at Singapore's land transport progress from 1945 to today.

 

Interactive exhibits bring visitors from one era to another while the Challenge Theatre invites audience participation.

 

The gallery at LTA's premises on Hampshire Road has five permanent interactive exhibitions to engage and inform visitors about the challenges in land transport planning.

 

Entry to the gallery is free.

 

It will be open to the general public starting 21 January. The opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.

2 mil to open a gallery is 'peanuts' to them...

my guess is that this 2 mil is from erp profits...

showcase how land transport have changed from old times to new times... all thanks to erp... so my guess is again the more we use erp, the more galleries we'll be getting... maybe will have a gallery showcasing how ppl try to 'siam' or wait along road sides just to avoid erp... [dizzy]

That $2M could have been put to better use... Collected too much ERP money don't know where to spend? What's there to show about? Not like our transport system was anything Xinkapreeuns can be proud of...

This is part of the greater strategy to bring in more tourist so that they will understand why there is a beep beep sounded each time you and i pass under a gantry

 

sometimes, I wondered where people placed their priorities:

 

able to spend $2million on material things but willing to see families break up, starve, turn to crime, sell body to make ends meet

 

remember the parliment arguement about few dollars more for the unfortunate

 

 

sigh
