Increasing ERP price doesn't work

1. Government gets rewarded for bad traffic, and lousy road system. The worse the traffic, the more revenue government collects. So what's government's incentive to improve traffic?

2. All existing discretionary travel has already been wrung out. Even if they raise ERP to $10, people still have to go to work, and send kids to school. Switching to public transport is only viable if there's one.

Try linking Transport Minister's year end bonus to average traffic speed and see how fast they act...

Re: ERP up up and away~!!!

i remember Mr Low suggest to Ministers to link their salary to x-times of the median lowest salary instead of the median highest salary now

Try linking Transport Minister's year end bonus to average traffic speed and see how fast they act...

Actually if LTA's job is so simple - pricing roads and taxing usage instead of vying for a long term solution, why do we need scholars to run it?

If I were a minister, I would lift the ban on 2 star and 3 star hotels for hourly rates. Sure vote also!

Because non scholars will device long term solution that will stop the $$ from flowing
