Letter from KHOO LIH-HAN
TO GET a feel of how frustrating the heavy traffic is despite the ERP system, I urge the officials concerned to travel on the expressways during peak hour on any given day.
Increasing ERP charges and the number of gantries is easily implemented, but it will not solve the problem, as the number of vehicles remains the same. A more precise solution should be drawn up.
Letter from WILFRED ONG CHIEW LENG
AS A frequent user of the CTE towards Ang Mo Kio in the evening, I am concerned about the appearance of a gantry just before the slip road leading to the PIE towards Changi.
While the new gantry could help reduce the current bottleneck, I hope the one further up just before the Braddell exit will be deactivated, as those remaining on the CTE will now be hit twice by ERP charges.
If the intent was to capture those joining the CTE from the PIE, it would make more sense to place the gantry on the slip road. This way, everyone pays once — those joining the PIE, those entering the CTE from the PIE and those remaining on the CTE.
