Blardy gahmen is now building ERP gantries in the heartlands liaoz... I have heard that they are gonna shift the burden from car ownership to car usage but this is a bit too much lor...
The new new gantries are now in Upper Boon Keng Road, Kallang Bahru Road, Geylang Bahru Road and Toa Payoh Lor 6. Reason being, I quote from today's My Paper:
"This is to form an 'outer cordon' to control traffic into the city.."So people living in these areas will potentially have to pay get out of the neighbourhood, pay 2nd time to go into the city, pay 3rd time to get out of the city and then pay one more time to go back to their neighbourhood. But is it really gonna curb traffic?
You build gantry here, people take alternate routes, so eventually the alternate routes will be congested too then you go and build gantries there somemore so you can divert traffic somemore and the cycle continues. No wonder they can find enough land to have the eventual 60 over gantries island wide...
Why not like that lah, build one fucking ERP gantry at the entrance of every damn HDB carpark in Singapore??? That will help to form more outer and inner 'cordons' to control traffic going anywhere... Of course the side effect will be there will be lack of parking lots cuz then no one will drive unneccessarily mah... No problem, just raise carpark charges lah... That will instantly make carpark lots more available, if it works for cabs, sure work for carpark oso mah...
CCB... They even have plans to extend these ERPs into the evening, then wat's the fucking point of having off peak cars you tell me??? Oh or maybe there aint gonna be no off peak cars no more, since eventually there aint gonna be no COEs no more so well maybe, we will be given a deadline to top up the difference of whatever remaining balance of our 17k rebate so that we can join the regular plates in the pay-as-you-use scheme???
