Dear Mr Teo,
It is all well and good for the temporary "solutions" offered by our much revered tranport minister about slower trains, fewer trains, longer waits etc.
But we notice with regret that he and the government does not seem to practise what you preach - this IS an emergency situation (wait till schools start in two weeks' time!).
Why are our multi-million dollar ministers (not a squeak from any of them) on how we can solve the problem.
Here is contribution - ALL CARS WITH THREE AND MORE PASSENGERS AND MOTOR CYLES WITH ONE PASSENGER BE ALLOWED TO PASS ALL ERP GANTRIES UNTIL THINGS GO BACK TO THE 'NEW NORMAL'.
THIS IS BETTER THAN SLAPPING HEFTY FINES ON SMRT (unless paid for by CEO & Board members; otherwise it is shareholders who are bearing the burden).
Any "loss" of revenue should be more than made up for with minimal loss of productivity, encourage nation building (I will ask my new neighbour to join my car pool) and show that Singaporeans Care.
