  Correction. It is confirmed non working day for all public sector, and only some, I repeat, some private sector companies.

  count me in...its too much to be restricted on sat from 7am - 3pm..even normal office hours on sat will end at 1pm..its juz too much...

  yea, 3pm is overboard
  1pm seems more reasonable

  When you go out on Saturday to take a look, the traffic is so smooth, no jams..so why OPCs can only start after 3pm? How I hope it's for the whole weekend..Saturday and Sunday all whole day can use..

  if we all write to straits time forum on this issue..LTA sure have to look into this matter..somemore most govt sectors are now on 5 day work basis..there's no reason for LTA to continue with this 7am-3 pm regulation.

  Save up an additional $17K the next time you buy a car and your problems are solved.

  Haha..yeah, but that's what makes OPCs attractive..so it couldn't be used to offset the fact that OPCs can only be used on Saturdays from 3pm onwards..lol..it's still unfair to OPC owners..

  I think there will be a problem if weekend cars are allowed to use the roads for the whole of Saturday instead of 3 pm onwards. This will make more people buy weekend cars compared to normal cars as it is seen to be more viable now.
  
  Imagine the next 10,000 convert to weekend car. That will mean a sacrifice of taxes amounting to S$170,000,000 (i.e. S$17,000 per car x 10,000). This can pay 77 ministers at S$2.2mil per minister per annum.
  
  So maybe the weekend car cannot be made more viable as losses in tax revenue will be significant.

  Very true, in SG money talks.. BTW i drive an OPC car, but not very optimistic that this will happen. Anyway just count me in lah, who knows....

  Yep..my father drives an OPC too..and we every saturday will lament the fact that we can only start using our car after 3pm..haha..and probably this rule will stick with OPCs for a long long time to come..guess the govt won't want to lose income from tax..
