'The gantry should not even be switched on.'
MR MICHAEL LOH: 'The Land Transport Authority's reply last Saturday ('ERP gantry location based on overall traffic condition') prompts another puzzle: Why is it necessary to turn on the ERP gantry at the Fullerton Hotel in the direction of Esplanade Bridge on Saturday afternoons? And why is there a premium of $2? I drove along that stretch on Saturday at about 1.30pm. Traffic was very light, with perhaps three or four cars in a stretch of 100m. There was no question of the average speed falling below 40kmh. Logically, the ERP gantry, which is to regulate heavy traffic, should not even be switched on and even if it should be, $2 is an exorbitant charge.'
 
Makapaa I agree with you totally! Infact they should dismantle that ERP!!!

Ccb every morning takes away my breakfast and lunch, dinner also wanna take away!

Knn enter in the morning to drop off wife and evening also need to pay to pick up wife and pay to exit!!!

LTA would probably reply, "This proves how effective ERP is and charging $2 is just about right. Without turning ERP on, traffic would be very heavy, with perhaps thirty or forty cars in a stretch of 100m."
