  1. The Jakarta provincial government is expected to begin an intensive public campaign to educate motorists on its Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system in the next few months. The city's administration wants to implement ERP by the end of 2015. It has been studying the system to reduce traffic congestion since 2006. "We have prepared the concept for an intensive socialisation in two to three months' time on how the community can be informed of the ERP concept in a big and complete way," said Leo Armstrong, head of the ERP management unit at Jakarta Transportation Agency. "The government will lead the campaign." Two ERP gantries have been erected at two busy roads to test the system. Trials have already been completed and the local government says the results are encouraging. 'PUBLICITY STUNT' However, transport analysts are not convinced. "This is like a publicity stunt where they just put some fancy gantries in the middle of the road," said Yoda Adiwinarto, country manager at the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy. "The transport agency claimed that they want to try the effectiveness of the gantry; they want to try whether the on-board unit will work well. The problem is that all the on-board units that they installed were only for the official vehicles. So why bother putting the giant gantries on the public roads? Just try it somewhere nobody knows." The tender for the implementation of the ERP system is expected to be released in June. A one-day workshop will also be conducted among various stakeholders to discuss road pricing regulations. One of the challenges facing the implementation of ERP concerns motorists using small shortcut roads. Jakarta has a complicated network of roads which includes small shortcut roads. The provincial government is well aware that motorists may try to bypass the ERP by using shortcut roads. But while taking such a route may save some money, it may not save time because during peak hours shortcut roads are even more congested. Jakarta governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama has set a target for the ERP system to be completed by the end of 2015. Transport analysts believe this may not happen because of the lack of progress on the ground. In addition, the project has been hit by numerous delays over the years. MIXED VIEWS Motorists have mixed views about the effectiveness of electronic road pricing. "Sometimes electronic pricing can be a solution for the traffic but sometimes I think a collaboration system electronic and manual system could be integrated to be a solution in Jakarta because not all the people in Jakarta support electronics," said one motorist. "I think we need more, wider roads," added another motorist. "The ERP will not have any effect on congestion." Jakarta is struggling to keep vehicle population down, and it hopes electronic road pricing, which means higher costs for private vehicles, will help to solve the problem. At the same time, it is improving the public transport infrastructure to encourage motorists to turn to buses and trains instead.

  3. SINGAPORE: MORE off-peak car (OPC) owners are caught driving without an electronic licence during peak hours since the revised electronic licence scheme was introduced. About 150 offenders were caught in January, higher than last year's average of about 100 offenders a month. There were a total of 1199 offenders last year. A Land Transport Authority (LTA) spokesperson said enforcement efforts have been intensified against errant OPC owners who use the OPC during restricted hours without a valid licence. This comes even though OPC owners can buy the e-licence after they use their OPC, up to 11.59pm the next day after the car was used. Action has also been taken against owners who do not enter the usage date for the OPC's prepaid undated licence. As of Jan 31, about 150 offenders were caught using their OPCs during peak hours without a valid licence. OPC owners need to buy a valid e-licence before 11.59pm the next day after their OPCs were used. The revised OPC scheme has seen a steady uptake since its launch on Jan 25. More than 21,000 motorists have converted to the new scheme. Out of this number, 473 were normal cars that converted to the off-peak scheme and 666 were new cars registered under the scheme. This figure accounts for about 45 per cent of OPC users based on the current total OPC population of 47,986. Source
  4. These cars are wasting lots of resources and produces far more pollution than normal cars. Our crude oil reserves are reducing everyday and there is nothing we can do to replace them. Thus these cars should be taxed heavily on top of the road tax to deter people from driving these cars. Its also a good way for gahment to make more money. Something like 50K a year of pollution for WRX and EVOs, for exotic cars can increase to 500K or 1 million a year pollution.
  5. http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.p...howtopic=111055 They too feel COE is ridiculous and crazy...... Luckily for them it was never implemented in UK.
  6. I think its a good thing to implement pollution tax just like UK. This way normal Sedans etc pay lower tax compared to higher performance (and of course more pollution) cars pay more. Eg. a 2L WRX would pay the same road tax as a 2L Sedan say.... Cerato. But the WRX produces more CO2 compared to Cerato thus need to pay more CO2 tax. Those exotic cars produces the most CO2 and pollution and hence they will be taxed gao gao. Maybe something like 20-30K a year (Still small change to them though).
  7. saw the news on channel 8, 10pm. gone are the days of cheap petrol. those 30-50km petrol station to be affected. 1 pump for local vehicle, 1 pump for forign vehicle at 'market rate'.
