Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates are set to increase by 50% to 100%, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Tuesday.
• From 8am to 8.30am, the ERP rate for the Ayer Rajah Expressway will increase to $1, up from current $0.50.
• From 6.30pm to 7pm, the rate for two gantries, eastbound ECP (Marina South) and on slip road from Ophir Road, will increase to $3 from current $2.
The revised rates will take effect next Monday, Nov 2. The revision comes after the completion of LTA's quarterly review of traffic conditions on ERP-priced roads and expressways. The next ERP review will take place in Nov 2009 for the December school holidays. That's the only things that makes me skipping shopping in town.
Wonder if the decline rate of public not taking public transport has any impact on this. Just feel that by quarterly reviewing of traffic conditions & keep increasing the ERP rates is not going to solve the rise in car ownership at all. Shouldn't they be thinking of ways to reduce public transport fares instead so that public will consider taking the bus or train.
I can still remember that the feeder bus service that run through my block used to be only $0.15 per trip to the interchange, but now its $0.69. Its a 460% increase over 20 years, or about 23% each year.
