Throttle2 Supersonic June 10, 2009 Share June 10, 2009 yesterday I pass the CTE gantry at 945pm and the road was smooth flowing with maybe 20 - 30% traffic volume but still have to pay. so the only reason is that you wanna drive - you gotta pay. It can only get worse as more gantries are put up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiao_bai77 Neutral Newbie June 10, 2009 Author Share June 10, 2009 Maybe to government for CTE, ERP to operate at night mean ERP 1) EAT: Want to go home EAT dinner early. 2) REST: Want to go home REST early. 3) PAY: PAY government lor. THis is really ridiculous. Maybe this is the reason why they take out the speed camera( No buinese, maybe 1 day 1 speeding fine), waste electricity if put the speed camera at CTE. So plant 1 ERP gantry which is more cost efficient, Every car got speeding no speeding also pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only get worse as more gantries are put up. The reason for your smooth ride was because the ERP is standing there , if you go by the small roads which leads to the same destination , you will see car ques, you are paying for the smooth ride. You yourself is driving on the reason behind the your own post. Pls think before you post such lousy and sensitive comments about government . If you can't that 1 or 2 penny, go to the smaller and jammed roads. Even to the extend of taking public transport and stop whining. Furthermore, just pay don't compliant , what can you do ? What's there to understand? and so what if you understood? Will it make a different? Bottom line, don't want to pay ERP go to smaller roads with more jams, or don't drive. Stop whining, as whining here won't make the foreign workers get paid to tear down the ERP gantry. Regards and no offences, east. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be $2 ($1 after Moulmein and $1 before Braddell). NOw sch holiday not sure is there any adjustment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
