[ST] New ERP gantries on AYE start charging from 4th Aug
-
SINGAPORE - Motorists using the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) will incur higher costs from Aug 4 as four new electronic road pricing (ERP) gantries are switched on.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said Tuesday that traffic speeds along two stretches of the AYE between Jurong Town Hall Road and North Buona Vista Road during the morning and evening peak hours were still below the optimal range.
Hence the three additional ERP gantries will start charging citybound cars $2 after Jurong Town Hall, on Clementi Avenue 6 and Clementi Avenue 2 slip roads leading to the highway between 7.30am and 9am.
In the evening between 6pm and 7pm, they will be charged $1.
Those passing the gantry after North Buona Vista towards Tuas in the evening will charged $1 between 6pm and 6.30pm, and $2 between 6.30pm and 7pm.
In its latest quarterly review of ERP rates, the LTA announced other changes. Motorists heading for the city on the East Coast Parkway (ECP) between 7.30am and 8am will no longer have to pay ERP. Previously, the charge was $1.
This affects those entering the ECP via the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway too.
And westbound motorists on the Marina Coastal Expressway before the exit to Maxwell Road and slip road to Marina Coastal Drive between 8.30am and 9am will pay $2 instead of $3 previously

BO lah, that time I bought my Merc, wanted to pay full, they said no discount, only loan from them, then got discount, all these SA are not just selling car for commission, most are also loan/insurance/trade in agent hor. -
It is not people can't afford, but buay song to pay so much to the govt. Typically speaking, high COE will eventually come into a norm..maybe at 60k average, the newer generation and new citizens will take it as a norm because they never gone thru the years whereby COE is below 10k, and for people like you and me who had gone thru those year of low COE, they will feel the different, toyota altis, the most common in Singapore was sold at 50k 5 years ago, today is 130 to 140k, u think those die hard toyota driver will not feel the pain of it?

U kong simlj, u think bosses will go around and ask for trade in prices and insurance ar? they expect the SA to do a package, and as long as that trade in and insurance is under Dalimer and Benz porfolio, SA can do it, and certainly will enhance their paycheck. .. -
I drive into D and B to buy a merc, you tell me I hv to trade my ride elsewhere, then I will tell u go fly kite, Audi, jaguar and BM is just next door, you give me a full package let me consider, in the meantime, I will like a cup of cupaccino and some cakes, and also my mistress here is going somehwere else, you call cdg taxi for her, and also give her a cdg taxi voucher .. U see the SA will keep knocking her head and said yes yes yes...

A day Singapore road will just like Japap, every where Toll (ERP).
A day Singapore Taxi Fare will just like Japan, Sky High.
A day Singaporean will just like Japanese, Subway all the way。。。。。.

You really never engage with those "premium" SA before hor.....
If you talking about Toyota, Honda SA, than what you say is right lor, the SA will sell you anything from insurance to loan to steering to blar blar blar, than each of it, they will have a cut of comm on it.....
You walk in to merc showroom intention to buy a merc, what you are driving currently, those SA not interested hor, unless you are their "long term" customers, than different story liao, they can even drive their newer model right to your door step for you to test drive hor.....
-
You can walk out and go next door to see BM or Volvo.....
But treatment will still be the same lor.....
In SG, rich people want their face more than anything else.....
This model might cum in with limited edition, you want to ya ya, others already place booking liao lo.....
