The ERP system soon and in the future

Just got this e-mail from a friend and thought I should share it with fellow Singaporean motorist out there and also to show the world how our government will be able to make "Every Road Pay" in a decade time. Sometime I don't understand, if the motorist don't mind or get bothered by the traffic jam, why make motorist pay for the use of certain road or express way in an effort to cut down on congestion? Culling congestion on one road means traffic buildup on another. Its a zero sum game when it come to traffic diversion but not so zero sum for the motorist who pay just to get to work in the morning and Gahmen who get paid.






In the Gahmen shoes, reducing the price of COE and Road tax give the citizen an impression of affordable cars but still remain the most expensive vehicle ownership in the world. Whats lost in the left pocket can be easily earn back to the right pocket and with extra profit through the use of ERP gantry around the island.
