Pitot SG

tripwire SG

stellazio SG

dun u see the point.

they want ppl to buy legal ciggarettes to earn more money for themselves.

soon legal ones will go up again.

Pitot SG

yea. and make everyone think they are trying to cut out smokers. Laughing

tripwire SG

sadly... not fast enough for the rest of us.... and too late for those dying in the wards...

stellazio SG

those would be the same people who actually believe that ERP was made to reduce traffic congestion. Laughing

fishbuff SG

can cut grass, dried it out and wrap in the papers.. viola! free cigs.

tripwire SG

you want less congestion??? raise the ERP some more lor....

Pitot SG

they should raise the price of petrol also. since engines pollute. Laughing

Sagara SG

as usual, raising the price for everything. (Fines Included.)

How easy it is to be government of SG. Mr. Green

stellazio SG

yeah and soon ERP will be all over singapore even in the heartlands. so what congestion is there to cut?

when population is rising and expected to hit 6.5mil? Laughing

stellazio SG

isn't it already rising fast enough? Shocked

BillyBong SG

won't it be ironic if our people became angels overnight i.e. no one breaks the law.

No income from fines....no more bonuses for some civil servants leh... Rolling Eyes

tripwire SG

when the population reaches 6.5mil... you will know our solution... as cities expands... additional facilities will be added... this is the norm as cities rises in sizes....

until then... please do not use our current system to fit a 6.5mil population... its like asking me how to fit a sumo wrestler into a baby clothes.... sure cannot one.

dont be stupid...

tripwire SG

wat are you waiting for?? join the govt lah.... Laughing

freedom4ever SG

in a way, it actually reduce traffic congestion leh. Laughing Reduce traffic congestion in places where there are ERP nia.

just that is cause the jam at other smaller roads.

tripwire SG

ERP is useful... but i personally believe that the LTA can make our road better... instead of simply relying on prices to regulate traffic flow...

maybe they need a new boss with more creative mind.

stellazio SG

ya and soon you will see the ERP on these smaller roads too. so what now?

and frecking sbs+smrt doesn't seem willing to increase frequency of their already overpacked trains+buses.
