Every Driver's Enemy News reported 16 more ERP gantries island-wide. Purpose: To ease the congested area, curbing the amount of traffic. Result: Drivers ending up poorer than before, congested road no longer congested thanks to ERP, non congested road became congested no thanks to ERP.
It's reported the govt earn millions per month given the amount of vehicles passing that wonderful gigantic gantry. After earning from road tax, COE and all that, they still hit drivers with this additional ERP gantries. Sooner or later, i presume, they will realise that they are not earning enough and perhaps, one ERP gantry every few hundred metres...
The moment you drive out of your house, you will a gantry and by the time you reach home for that very day, you would have pass by tens of ERP gantries.
Singapore isn't the only country facing problems on the road, but Singapore is the only country in the world to come up with this absurd system. To be true, we should really learn from more developed countries like Japan or Germany. The real solution will only be building flyovers. Not only it provide alternatives roads to drivers but also ease the traffic flow. Idea?
The real solution - flyover in Germany
