Got some valuable updates from my friend and want to share around.
LTA has contracted six traffic wardens from a private company at $34,000 a year to take down the licence plate number, make and colour of vehicles that intrude into bus lanes at peak hours.(They are incognito with camera in hands......so don't expect to see a TP, etc)
Note you can get fined $130 for dropping someone off at or near the bus stop.
LTA has intensified their operations at the following roads:
1) Eunos Link
2) Hougang Ave 3
3) Jurong Town Hall Rd
4) Lorong Chuan
5) Orchard Rd
6) Upper Serangoon Rd
7) Upper Thomson Rd
8) Yishun Ave 2

$34,000 a year for 6 wardens ? ....
that's less than quite a bit less than $500 bucks per warden per month .....
but if it's per warden ..... wow ...... that's more than the starting pay of an engineering graduate ....
i love chain mails ....

I heard that the parking wardens got some kinda commission for every tickets they issued. Maybe the $34,000 is excluded their commission. Who knows, maybe from the summons they issued, they can be quite rich hor.
