What's The Real Objective of ERP?

That incident happened in EXPO. While, that ambulance involved was a private ambulance. In the end, the baby had to be transferred to a SCDF ambulance before the baby was sent to the hospital.

...actually, I can confirm that public buses are not charged for the system.

I was once on a route 175 bus coming back from CMPB. As the bus swung onto Orchard Road, I decided to go forward to have a peek at the IU over there (the Orchard gantry was operating at that time). When the bus passed underneath the gantry, "$0.00" showed up on the IU's display.

ERP is a scam. Road traffic and population can be controlled in other ways.

but i ever remembered reading in the Straits times years back that public buses got to pay ERP charges, but at 3/4 of the rates for normal lorries & buses. maybe the LTA later reversed its policies against charging public buses? and what about private buses and school buses? though they occupy road space, they are in fact helping to reducing traffic congestion by moving the masses!

officially they must say that public bus have to pay, but unofficially they no need to pay.

initially, when just started , i think they did pay ERP, cos there is some stickers on the dashboard or driver's cabin, reminding them to insert cash card or something like that..

after that, dunno why policy change, but no official news were announced.

How you peek,By standing closely to the BC?? Rolling Eyes The Unit is far way down at the right windscreen Neutral Private buses have to pay the charges,Thats why they're private,Even Comfortbus need to pay,Bus Plus with chartered services also do have to pay,With the exceptional of basic services 590 & 825

That car need to pay or not?

I agree with this. Although Singaporeans complain so much about the costs of owning and using cars, they still flock to it like bees to honey. That's the real cause of traffic problems everywhere. People just refuse to give up their cars and use public transport instead.

No lah, might as well ask if birds/insects that fly pass need to pay or not. Laughing
