"In his reply, Mr Lim said since its implementation in 1998, ERP has been effective in maintaining average travel speeds on priced roads within the optimal speed range through regular reviews and rate adjustments. For example, average speeds on the expressways have remained at above 45km/h during peak hours."
such ignorance with this sort of reply.. if i make the price of coffee Mr Lim be 10 bucks, of coz he will drink less or stop altogether. no coffee then drink tea lor.. same mentality with ERP. wana avoid the cost of coz wont drive on affected roads. use other routes thereby jamming them lor. since both routes also jam, the 2nd choice dont have to pay extra.
such is the quality of ministers we are having now.. but then agn he could be acting under the instruction of he's boss to fully enact plan "Price all singapore roads" followed by Teo chee hean with plan "Increase minister pay even more"
anyway heres the full read if anyone is interested

'flying kite' is definitely a very polite remark !
basically how useful is the ERP to ease traffic conjection we all can see!
Try to travel on the CTE, day or night, same...either Massive jam or Jam...
ERP helping more S'poreans to own cars?? Help them to earn more $$$ more likely!!
totally agree with you .... only the immature or those PAP balls carriers believe ERP actually can ease the traffic ..... bunch of blood suckers .... talking about democratic, this is far worse than communist countries .... broad daylight robbers!!!!
