Hmm if such a day ever comes, the government will reduce ERP but increase cost of cars. Unless all people no buy cars la. Then will decrease.

You are wrong. Not ALL cars will be of display purpose. One peculiar family can still drive.

haha you know what I mean...

not the end of the ERP woes yet...

1) In Nov, more ERP gantries will be operational along expressways and arterial roads.

2) When the KPE is fully operational, new gantries will also be put up there, adding to the 60 or so already operational islandwide.

wonder how are fellow cabbies adjusting to new ERP in CBD? i am seeing long taxi queuing for pax just outside CBD before 8pm... inside CBD also must q a bit... headache Anyway i tried paying ERP and go in CBD to see see look look... much less jam now, and me lucky to get pax immediately 2 times... so pay $2 to earn $3 surcharge and with less waiting seems better option for me...

In response to ALN:

Many Jobs offer coming from town taxi stand today afternoon. Cecil street, Robinson Road, Suntec city...more. Maybe of the rain. Already abundant anywhere along the road outside CBD. Paxs flipping like penguin with hand signal...stop stop so many. Hope monsoon rain keep coming. Rain really help into our collection today.

ALN SG

yeah rain usually brings in more demand… But if it is heavy rain, you need to be CDG taxi to get pax cos hard for street pick up…
