When his petrol cost started to almost double to S$300 a week last month, warehouse manager Vincent Chok decided to save money by taking the bus from his four-room public housing flat in Punggol to Tai Seng MRT station where his bicycle is parked, and then cycling the last mile to his office in the vicinity.

He has been doing that since but the 42-year-old sole breadwinner for his family of five is not the only one who has had to make adjustments.

On weekdays, his wife now takes the bus to ferry their two younger children to and from preschool — a journey which takes 20 minutes, or twice the duration by car — while his eight-year-old son walks to his school nearby.

“We have to make these adjustments because I can no longer afford to drive the children to school in the morning,” said Mr Chok, who now drives his car only on weekends.

Understanding off-peak car schemes​


There are 3 types of off-peak car schemes — Weekend Car (WEC), Off-Peak Car (OPC), and Revised Off-Peak Car (ROPC).
The main difference between the three schemes is the restriction on usage hours.
Check which scheme your car is under by logging in with your Singpass.

Cars under the WEC/ OPC/ ROPC schemes cannot be used during the following hours. To use your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours, you must buy an electronic Day (e-Day) Licence and indicate a usage date.

Driving a car during restricted hours​


To drive your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours within a day, you will need to buy an e-Day Licence for $20 and indicate a usage date.


Buying an e-Day Licence​


To drive your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during the restricted hours, you will need to buy an e-Day Licence and indicate a usage date.
You can buy an e-Day Licence at the following:
  1. Online (Available all day except from midnight to 1am)
  2. AXS (m-Station, e-Station and kiosks)
  3. SAM Kiosk, Web, and SingPost Mobile App
  4. By logging in to your dashboard.

Using an e-Day Licence​

You can buy an e-Day Licence up to 2 weeks in advance. If you change your mind about using it, you can cancel the e-Day Licence or update the usage date before 7am on the specified date of use. Check the timeline below.
Using an eDay Licence


You can cancel or update the usage date of your e-Day Licence at the following:
  1. Online (Available all day except from midnight to 1am)
  2. By logging in to your dashboard
Note: Undated e-Day Licences are no longer available for purchase. If you had previously bought undated e-Day Licences, you can still use them. You must specify a usage date by 11.59 pm the next day after driving your WEC/ OPC/ ROPC. Otherwise, the undated e-Day Licence is considered invalid.


If you drove during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence​


It is an offence to use a WEC/ OPC/ ROPC during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence.
If you drove during restricted hours without an e-Day Licence, you have until 11.59 pm the next day to buy an e-Day Licence. If you miss this deadline, you have 3 more days to declare to LTA and you have to pay a fee of $30.

Announcement Shout-out

If you do not buy an e-Day Licence or declare usage of your car during restricted hours within 5 days of usage, you may face a fine of up to $5,000 for the first offence, and a fine of up to $10,000 for subsequent offences.

Lol number 2 is by far the stupidest. For the rest, at least there’s some form of potential tangible benefits.

As opposed to number 2 there are some who will do the extreme overlee smart act- disappear after squeezing neh neh to escape tipping before billing time and let the pig dog friends absorb the pressure so the pig friends have to pretend they doesn't know him well :sneaky:
