13177 Supersonic June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 I hope so. This cannot be solely based on distance. It should be dynamically priced based on the DEMAND of each road. Or else if it is a FLAT RATE across the country and than multiply by distance, then implement for what other than to make more money for the govt? The whole idea of ERP is to charge based on demand, i.e. more congested roads get charged more, so as to divert traffic and improve traffic flow. If based on distance travelled, sounds like those car sharing scheme as they calculated based on per km charge on your usage?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 Yeap all will be riding bicycles to work and PMD's menace -do not how many times all over , next after that PMD's will also kenna ERP They can do car pooling but this govt will NEVER admit or allow it Or people will seriously consider to buy house near their workplace. Walk to work or take a bus few stops away. Property near employment clusters huat! Next up - push for electric vehicles! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 Don't think so. Find that this is trying to make more money. ERP was implemented to ease traffic congestion, not to tax every driver, including those who do not cause congestion. So now a mother who fetch a child to and fro school within her neighbourhood also kena taxes, even though she cause zero congestion. While those who use CTE and now charged no differently from other parts of Singapore who are not congested. This will cause the CTE to be even more congested. Road pricing is supposed to be dynamic based on DEMAND to help ease traffic. Not based on some stupid fixed rule based on distance. although it is mentioned as taxed based on dist traveled, what's missing are which hours are taxed and which roads are taxed. taking an extreme example, there should be no charging at say 3am. so what's missing are the details. speculate here also useless unless more info is available. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kxbc Turbocharged June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 Or people will seriously consider to buy house near their workplace. Walk to work or take a bus few stops away. Property near employment clusters huat! Next up - push for electric vehicles! we buy a place to stay for at least medium term say 10 years. most of us stay with a co for around 3-5 years. there is no way we can plan to buy a home near our work place. whichever minister or official who uses that is just plain daft.

Inlinefour Twincharged June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 Govt can now collect distance-based road usage, and speeding fine easier. Good game to all your braking horse power. Boleh bikes and cars can fast furious loh No more white ants too 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 If say I go from tampines to Jurong....... If going through CBD vs going round via PIE/MCE no difference if distance is the same...... Then why the hell I will take effort to bypass CBD? The whole point about physical ERP gantry and the loud beep sound when they deduct $5 from your cash card during peak hours is to remind you with the associated heart pain and wallet cringe..... next time either leave for/from work earlier or later.....

minion 4th Gear June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 very good move. totally support it. the more time you spend on the road, the more you pay. sounds fair to me. to me these two should be paying the same ERP: travel from Tuas to Changi in the evening in 30 mins for 35 KMtravel from Jurong to Clementi in peak hours in 30 mins for 6 KM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckboy 2nd Gear June 17, 2019 Share June 17, 2019 Why stop here, I propose implement surge pricing on road, traffic smooth time $0.50/KM, traffic jam $0.80/KM, traffic super jam $1.50/KM. Then in Google Maps navigation, beside options Fastest Route and Shortest Route, there will be a new option call Cheapest Route. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
