The Land Transport Authority has just announced that they have completed their latest review of traffic conditions and ERP prices and decided to reduce rates at certain ERP gantries around Singapore.
The ERP on the ECP going through the city will see a $1 decrease in price and so will the ERP located at the KPE slip road onto the ECP. These new charges will affect the morning peak time from 8:30am to 9am, bringing prices from $3 to $2.
The Southbound CTE after Braddell Road and the PIE slip road onto the Southbounth CTE will also see a $1 from $4 to $3 between 7:30am and 8am.
Over at the Thomson Road gantry, rates will rise between $0.50 to $1 between 7:30am to 8am.

The three gantries on the city-bound AYE after the Jurong Town Hall will also see a new $1 charge between 5:30pm and 6pm, up from the current $0.
All changes will start from November 3 and LTA will continue to monitor the traffic situation in order to do another review before the school holiday period in December.
Here is a summary table of the changes:

I never understand why ERP needs to be paid weekdays ard 2pm on ECP when hardly is there any car!!!!!!!!!

Looks govt is helping petrol companies to generate more revenue by forcing cars detour to avoid gantries!!!!!

But overall we will zap more of your money.

86% of COE is owned by Sinkaporeans so u only have yourselves to blame.

You might as well be blunt and ask the white bastards why vehicles that used to go from Ophir Road from the city towards the West using the ECP, now got to pay ERP to do so at 2pm?

And why when the vehicles used to have had a better route via ECP towards the West now have that route CUT OFF and diverted into marina first to pay an ERP charge and then exiting, before they can go towards the West?

They are bastards, that is why.

Plain and simple explanations,
