NightRider fares up!

Scania SG

it's making COE expensive or import taxes higher

making parking rates or ERP higher wun really solve... didn't anyone realise it's after making car ownership cheaper tat the jams started to come?

personally I do have a car, but 90% of the time relies on public tpt

And reducing import taxes for public buses, redesigning buses lanes and bus stops (eg at road median if possible). Increasing road tax can also help, but the government reduced it. Also, the government should have a better road system which favours buses, such as exclusive bus roads.

To make car ownership less attractive is to make owning a car unaffordable. Maybe Singapore can raise parking rates higher

I think the government should expand on our roads infrastructure. The KPE and expansion of our highways have been a great job. Control to costs of fuel or introduce more alternative fuels. The CNG should have implementation of greater magnitude. Then make car purchase & ownership affordable or if not remain as it is.. Introduce ERP as a form of revenue generation to fund the building of roads. To control jams, ERP will never be the solution. It is through improvement of road networks design. Charge the ERP collection to everyone on the road including the public transport users. Increase bus fares to pay the ERP to supplement the road building. Let the mass public have a choice between public transport and personal transport. One for all, all for one. In this way, the buses can enjoy a bus lane with lesser possibilities of being affected by jams. Personal transport users will not have more excuses to affect the buses on the roads. Isn't that better?

I agree that the government should expand on our roads infrastructure such that vehicles will have more ways of travelling from A to B. I, too, agree that CNG should have implementation of greater magnitude (like putting refuelling plants in the Essos and Shells throughout the island). Also, bus lanes will do more good than harm as the buses will be able to go down the road without being blocked by cars, and the cars will have no reason to complain that a bus is blocking their way on the normal road. However, I believe that the ERP collection should not be changed to everyone on the road. Public transport is a way of cutting down costs and charging everybody that uses buses the ERP should not be made. I also fully disagree with your point on increasing bus fares to pay the ERP, as the innocent parties who take 29 from Changi Village to Tampines will have to pay for the ERP even though the nearest gantry is a few kilometers away.

the problem is, how much road space can we get? dun we need land for other usage i.e. industry, housing, recreational?

Yes we do need the land for other usage, but as far as the government can, it should expand on road infrastructures. The KPE is a good example. It's a new expressway that uses those empty land to build on. Also, a large section of it is underground, which is another way that the government can do it.

Also, Singapore is known for building upwards. Industries are stacked on top of one another. Housing, look no further than your 40 storey HDB flats. That will, in turn, give more land to be used for other purposes such as building roads.

Look at the cost and the number of cave-ins triggered by CCL construction.

Maybe those experimental floating cars are our saviours. Lol

sbst275 SG

how are we going to be able to dig tunnels everywhere? the cost and another issue, where can we build tunnels w/ pilings done for commerical or residential bldgs?

some industries can't be multi storey cos of land usage issue i.e. drinks factory

I think its time that we stop this argument from going on ? It's going nowhere at all. Can the mods put a end to this ??

LOL... I am going to germany in june. Experiencing their ICE and their normal trains. Then try out their buses when I travel from Frankfurt to Wurzburg to Schweinfurt. The following weekend after my course, I will take the SLK200 I rented to Friedrichshafen and go to France over the weekend. Will return with pictures.
