Thanks for the clarification, so pax who board in CBD do not
contribute to ERP charges, am i right?!
If tat is the case din anyone highlight to LTA in order to let TD
make more money and passengers get their taxi and reduce cruising,
waste petrol, TDs should go in to CBD area and let pax pay the ERP
charge or forgo the ERP charge for TD during off peak hours ie 0900
- 1730.
i not that sure about taxi charges in CBD as i seldom take taxi
You see what I mean !!!
Even you, after reading into some details, can come up with a
viable solution
BUT.....
LTA will not solve this problem like this, whereby everubody
benefits
Passenger benefits because Taxis now go into the CBD freely,
TD benefits becuase they don't pay the ERP to get the addtional
prospective passengers in the CBD. (note that they DO NOT earn more
from the ERP)
Always remember, TD do not earn the ERP. We paid to LTA when we
pass the gantry, and we collect from pax by including it in the
fares. So we do not gain, just being a Kay Poh to collect on behalf
of LTA.
Why LTA will not implement? You have to find a coconut tree, sit
under it, and contemplate.
