Just curious..Frankly, if the goal is to limit congestion then pay per use is the most fair. Hopefully when satellite erp comes along, they will lower ownership cost and increase usage cost.

Hopefully when satellite erp comes along, they will lower ownership cost and increase usage cost. I doubt the satellite based charge ERP they will round down... round up each car each trip by 2-5m.. I think quite rubbish an authority is thinking of all ways to be more effective in charging its own tax citizen in car usage.. why don't they spend their scholar brains to work out better investment decisions so don't lose $$$ when don't make $$$ some private fund managers already lose job.. I can afford to pay but I really buay song pay pay pay non stop... will most likely migrate after my kids pay their due serving NS. Knn.. flip newspaper and it's all about what's best way to charge for carpark etc etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprise that many car owners dont mind paying $50 ERP/toll charges if they can be ensure that traffic is smooth. I have a friend told me that he dont mind paying $50 going through woodland/tuas custom if traffic is super smooth after paying. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
