Increase in ERP charges

The ERP (electronic road pricing) charges will be increased again.

It will cost $6.50 in ERP charges to drive from Ang Mo Kio to the city. That is a lot of money. You have to pay the high charges for parking your car as well. And it is no fun to drive in a congested road.

Taking a taxi is also expensive. You have to pay the taxi fare, a lot of surcharges, including the ERP charges.

What is the solution?

1. Learn to take public transport, like the bus or MRT
2. It is comfortable, even when it is crowded
3. It is relatively inexpensive.
4. Buy a ez-Link card and travel around Singapore. Use it on the MRT, bus or LRT. You will get familiar with the system.
5. Visit the Transit Link website and try the Bus Journey planner.
