ERP helps more S'poreans to own cars: Minister

[Alaska]

it is the route of the bus that is ridiculous.

e.g bus no: 136 to Ang Mo Kio, bus no 62 to Macpherson, this is looping around the hougang estate, don't know for what. Keep on stopping for no reason. Traffic light and zebra crossing at 50m each, also don't know for what.

"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

The Ministers said the government will continue with a holistic and integrated approach using all the tools available to keep the roads smooth-flowing. These include make you pay, make you pay, make you pay, make you pay and promoting the use of public transport so that you pay less but nonetheless you will pay.
