Anakin Clutched November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 shhh ... dun tell LTA that the traffic is terrible! it will only mean the ERP rates are not high enough to deter people from using ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hub_n_mona 1st Gear November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 is TS complaining over reduced rates? traffic has been smooth for me as well.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 I do find the CTE ERP hours at the Bradell area towards AMK uncalled for. Up to 10.30pm? A bit xiao lah. Go home also kanna charged. Perhaps can reduce to maybe 9pm will be better for family life. 9pm still can regulate traffic flow for those leaving work at around 8+pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzzz Clutched November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 its all abt money.. by dollars n cents and making up the millions. there are definitely many other methods in controlling traffics other than ERP.. rem it was mentioned openly in one of latest jack neo's movie.

Ryosuke 1st Gear November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 it's an open secret that ERPs are more towards generating income for them rather than keeping the traffic smooth. isn't the primary role for ERP is to remove the human booth issuing coupons to cars entering City area in the first place? due to the huge revenue generate from these ERPs, it seems like LTA had too much of a deviate from it's orignial purpose for building ERPs. now ERPs are just appearing anywhere from city to your neighborhood with complimentary bus lanes incl.

KVR666 Neutral Newbie November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 Aiyoh, you still haven't heard? The latest findings of a global survey has named Singapore the world's top producer of cows & milk, even ahead of New Zealand. Why? Cos citizens are all cash-cows and gov keep milking us 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, in any & every way they can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 Haha.. I remember there was once a milk power product mentioned that their cows population is the same as singapore population. Once upon a time there also used to be 20 + sheep per person in NZ... I used to live on a farm, and daddy used to milk cows - thats when you learn what cold is! 5am and -1 to -3 celcius, no gloves as must handle the milking machines.... Then bike to school afterwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermitage 1st Gear November 24, 2009 Share November 24, 2009 Oh, generating income. Defintely. The more congested the road is, the more they'll wanna put up gantries 'cos more cars passing through means more income. Simple! There's this gantry along upper bukit timah road towards the city which comes on at 8am. Does absolutely NOTHING to ease traffic flow! It's similiarly congested no matter what!

There's this gantry along upper bukit timah road towards the city which comes on at 8am. Does absolutely NOTHING to ease traffic flow! It's similiarly congested no matter what! and that particular gantry comes with a complimentary bus lane. IMO, COE is the most effective tool to reduce vehicles, but sometimes or rather, it seems that the results are rigged? $1 COE remember?

There was this campaign about going home early after work to spend more time with your family, to spend more time with your loved ones etc........... and they just simply penalised these pple for going home early!!! Even those who wanna go home early to boost SG birth rate also kena.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
