4 new ERP gantries

[Char_Azn]

THOSE who drive or cab to the Marina Sands integrated resort or Marina Bay Financial Centre will face a new set of electronic road-pricing gantries planned for the area.

The Land Transport Authority announced on Thursday that four new gantries will be set up in Marina Centre, north of the East Coast Parkway, as the area is part of an enlarged Central Business District. An existing gantry in Central Boulevard will be removed.

The four new gantries are in Marina Way (an exit road from the Ayer Rajah Expressway); Marina Station Road (near the new MRT station); and two on either direction of the new three-lane dual-carriageway Bay Bridge that links the new business and entertainment hub to Raffles Avenue.

The additions bring the number of ERP gantries in the CBD from 39 to 36.

LTA chief executive Yam Ah Mee said the new gantries are necessary because they form a cordon around the expanded CBD. Without them, motorists will use the new roads there to bypass congestion-priced roads in the city centre, he added.

The erection of the new gantries will be done in stages. The first one on the Bay Bridge leading out of Marina Centre will be up in April, while the others will up some time in the third quarter. The Marina Sands resort is expected to open from April, while the Marina Bay Financial Centre is due to open by the third quarter.

Strange, I thought the whole purpose of ERP it to prevent motorist from entering congested roads by by-passing them using alternative roads. If they put the ERP on by-pass roads then how we motorist are going to avoid the congested roads.

Now you are getting clever, you go by alternative road you pay, you go by the main one you pay, so what's the different, you drive you pay! Soon you will find all the by passes have the Every Day Rob (ERP) people gantries, and you can only drive out of the carparks etc.. that is all...

Mrs Lim said the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) currently buy back its debt and holds them until they mature.
'As premature redemption of these securities currently is not allowed, the government continues to pay interest on these securities to the MAS,' Mrs Lim said.
She added that the practice of early redemption is common among central banks and will provide more flexibility in the management of SGS.
Singapore's parliament in November approved the Ministry of Finance's proposal to increase the limit for government bond borrowing by $70 billion (US$50 billion) to as much as $320 billion.

They are using ERP to encourage use of public transport. nothing wrong with that. I'd rather pay the money than get stuck with you fuckers.

First they say ERP is to regulate road ultilisation, now another fucker comes along and say it is to encourage the use of public transport.
Let's wait and see what is the next excuse.

 

[Airlib]
