If you are poor, just too bad...

Re: If you are poor, just too bad...

What makes you think people will not take public transport if ERP goes up to $50, or even $20? Won't that cause a strain on your public transport system? This is a zero-sum thing, either the roads will be congested or public transport congested. Infrastructure improvement typically will take a long time to effect. If you want smooth roads, someone else has to suffer. Common sense too.

Sorry hor.

U blind har??

Read my post properly.

Totally, disagree with your suggestion. It will caused a strain on current public transport system.

1st step, need to improve public transport system. LTA needs to re-plan bus route holistically to ensure that there is redundancy in the bus network. MRT needs to take more time to improve.

Once, public transport system is improved. There must be mandatory minimum number of taxi at round the clock.

To increase ERP charge based on formula below:
3 mth moving average Legal speed minus 10km/h: $10
3 mth moving average Legal speed minus 20km/h: $20
3 mth moving average Legal speed minus 30km/h: $30
3 mth moving average Legal speed minus 40km/h: $40
3 mth moving average Legal speed minus 50km/h or more: $50

Go ride motor bike ....... BMW also got motorbike. Or maybe a fatboy.

BMW got this very chio electric scooters. Currently, i hold class 2b license. Check with TP whether i could ride it or not legally. TP ask me to check with LTA. The person on the phone said it is a vehicle issue.

This is a true story.

End of OT.

Read my post properly.

If you improve public transport, then my previous post about increasing the cost of car will not be relevant. You are also contradicting yourself. Why would you need to increase ERP then if you have a fantastic public transport system?

Stupid.

Stupid.

Without improving public transport but increasing car cost, wouldn't it strain public transport system?

Despite having fantastic public transport system, ppl will not switch as they are used to DRIVING. ERP will be the level to make ppl switch.

Read properly and think multi facet.

Re: If you are poor, just too bad...

Why nobody suggest build more roads? Or is it really no more space for that like ccb garmen said.

Chop some trees to widen the road? Remove some pavements that nobody walks on? And my favorite gripe...optimise the traffic lights!

There are either zero efforts or zero visibility on any improvements...all they do is put camera collect $$.

The last time they tried that, a cemetery got placed on the World Monuments Watch list
