No lar, its just that haha, the official reason for erps is so that we will plan alternative routes to ease congestion during peak hours. But then they do until its impossible to siam the erps...And just when u click 'erp' u can see how the area is 'cordoned off' is disturbing...hahahhaha

I don't work in City. Never feel the pain.

Today, need to get to City area before 9am.

Wow! $8.50 ($2+4+2.5) for the ERP! Luckily, my cash card has just enough, $8.80.

Then $3.20 for 1hr+ parking.

Count me lucky for not working inside CBD.

How come so ex? Including ERP on e'way?

 

I have to enter CBD area twice a day....

Simple! Start work after 10am. No ERP until 12pm.

[Ben5266]

$6 at CTE between 8:30-8:55am.

Then I entered CBD at 8:50am - $2.50.

Yes, I am not familiar with the charges. Was shocked to see CBD $2.50 when my cash card was showing $2.80. Phew, just enough.

Then stress. Need to ensure I found the place without going out of CBD and need to enter again.

Yes...Not to mention the price of carparks in the area! Crazy stuff....I once had to park near boat quay there for a half day event from 1-6. Costed me $24 frickin dollars...Heng company pay

Town area is completely cordorned off already. You cannot enter without kena-ing ERP. Anyway FYI, ERP zones include Bugis, Chinatown, Quays (Boat and Clarke), Shenton Way/Raffles Place, City Hall + Orchard (separate charge).

 

Expressway still can minimise a bit. Just take a bit longer route perhaps. Or self-timing.

CBD area can't really avoid during rush hours but it ensures(or deters?) frivolous entry to the CBD via vehicles..clogging up the area..even good deliveries have to plan carefully.

Bottleneck traffic everywhere.

Look at sengaroon road nowadays after ERP on CTE.

Sometimes I exit from PIE and wanna have dinner at Kallang Bahru and after dinner turn back to Macperson I also think twice.

Wanna go from Vivo City to AMK, 3 ways.

First: Most direct route, CTE - Jam + ERP.

Second: ECP then KPE then Bradell Road then Bishan then AMK. - Little Jam + ERP.

Third: Turn to AYE then lornie road then thomson - Jam but free.

 

How do you control traffic as everyone is going back at the same time?

ERP going to solve? No. Bottleneck....

Longer route = more time = more jam on other road = more petrol = same cost.

If that Lornie Road has a ERP, I think that many will KPKB.

 

Toa Payoh has ERP in the morning is not reasonable.

Diverts all cars to Lornie Road as some drivers cut to PIE via Toa Payoh.

Then all traffic go where? Jam at Lornie lor.

I think few more months, Lornine will have a ERP too and I will love to hear Class 95 KBKP once again.

 

Anyone heard of FD say why do I need to give way to bus when they have their bus lanes?

Well, I live in Clementi and according to this http://analytics.shownearby.com/clementi-w...51/demographics 1 out of 5 of our households earn more than 8k per month. So there should be no problem paying the cuthroat ERP, Insurance, Road Tax, ARF, COE, Parking, Season parking prices! (And despite all those volume control measures, still drive in shitty traffic)

 

Just that I'm in the 4 out of 5 part...Heh...

U really believe in the shi t LTA say about ERP and COE can help reduce traffic.... all is excuse for Gov to earn $$$$. Cos our Gov always failed to earn $$ from other country so come back to Sg and suck the citizen $$ lor.
