LTA has tried to ease the jam, NEL to encourage pple to take public transport, extra lane at braddell, and now they've been building the payalebar expressway
LTA already earning loads from road users, they just wish to allow better flowing traffic to those willing to pay. Given a 10kmh jam, the extra petrol earned might earn LTA the extra (petrol) tax = to ERP earned?
now, if i tell my paying clients,
'i really tried to give u beautiful pics on ur wedding,
but its stressful n u r ugly.
so i have to charge u more
without assuring anything,
in fact it will most probably be worse off.'
i will be slaughtered by them unless
i m a monopoly.
if lta is truly trying to help,
they should not raise just a bit,
pain but bearable sum of $.
it should charge $10 per entry of our expressway,
BUT, payable in pro rota to ur speed travel over the speed desinate.
eg. if i tracel at an average speed of 30km/h
over the stretch thats meant to be 90km/h,
i pay 1/3 of $10.
the slower i go, the lesser i pay.
to jesser,
thanks for this thread.
as i normally rely on CTE but i don't usually carry
the cash card(3 lost this yr),
big headache now.
got to remember night also need :angry:
