SINGAPORE - Following a review of the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) scheme on Saturdays for the Orchard and Bugis-Marina Centre ERP cordons, the Land Transport Authority has decided to implement shorter ERP operating hours for Orchard cordon, and lower rates for Bugis-Marina Centre cordon.
From June 2, the ERP operating hours for the Orchard Cordon will start at 12.30pm instead of 11am. The LTA will also reduce the ERP rates for Bugis-Marina Cordon from S$2 to S$1 between 12.30pm and 2pm, and between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.
The LTA said that based on its assessment of the existing traffic
conditions in the two ERP cordons, ERP is still required on Saturdays to
manage traffic congestion in the two cordons.
However, its
noted that trips bound for the two cordons on weekends are largely for
shopping or leisure, and there was scope to fine-tune the ERP operating
hours and charges "to give greater choice to motorists".
"For instance, some motorists may be prepared to accept slightly greater
congestion without having to pay ERP charges, while others are prepared
to pay for a better travelling experience," the LTA said in a statement
issued today.
