Another expressway for them to charge us with ERP with.
16 freakin ERP gantries along a 12km long expressway. WTF. On average, that's more than 1 ERP gantry for every 1km. This is to allow LTA to "to manage congestion expeditiously". What bull. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I hate this whole cashless society crap. SIXTEEN gantries. I know lah, KPE cost $1.7 billion to build. Must make back the money also no need to put 16 ERP gantries right?
Grrrr.
Just this morning I was "arrowed" by work to go to Jurong area for this trial test thing. We were basically free test subjects. No payment was given to us, not even refreshments... Moreover they made me repeat the tiring test twice. Idiots.
As my workplace is near to home, I do not encounter ERP every morning when I go to work. So while driving along PIE towards Jurong this morning, I totally forgot about the ERP along PIE. And that stupid thing deducted a bloody $1.50 from my cashcard. Thank goodness there was still enough credit left in my cashcard. Now my cashcard's left with a pathetic 34 cents. 4 cents! They actually charged the amount of time parked by cents when ya park your car at carparks with cashcard gantries. To think that they actually phase out 1 cent coins 'cause it was under utilised. But cashcards, well, they are cashless! Charge everyone 1 cent! Every little bit counts.
Even HDB carparks are fitted with cashcard gantries now. I believe that soon all coupon parkings will be replaced by cashcard parkings. Argh!
Sigh, kenna "arrowed" as guinea pigs for a tiring trial test + kenna ERP + petrol money + cashcard left with 34 cents = poor me. Haha. Poor as in no money. Poor also as in unfortunate :(
Apologies for the rants :( It's been a long day. On to happier things!
Kinda enjoying my past few off days including today, spent my night yesterday watching a lot of Youtube while painting my toenails, haha. Brace yourself for my ugly toenails:
