dudez7 3rd Gear August 22, 2020 Share August 22, 2020 Some update tidbit at https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coroanvirus-transportation/analysis-coronavirus-speeds-up-push-for-congestion-charge-in-cities-idUSL8N2F85DV 😁 Quote Singapore will be the first city to switch to a GPS-based pricing system that will provide more flexibility, with charges based on distance travelled, authorities have said. It would also do away with 70-odd gantries which are more than two decades old, and take up precious land in the space-starved city, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA). There would be an 18-month switchover period, with the new system implemented progressively from 2020, and the government will bear the one-time cost of replacing in-vehicle units. The timeline is now uncertain. “LTA is assessing the impact of COVID-19 on the implementation timeline for the new Electronic Road Pricing system and will provide an update in due course,” an LTA spokeswoman said. In response to concerns about surveillance from the GPS system, the spokeswoman said that data will be anonymised. “Safeguarding motorists’ privacy is a critical area of focus of the new ERP system. The new system will also have robust security and controls ... that help to protect data privacy.” ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
