Singapore has confirmed that it will increase toll charges under its Electonic Road Pricing will increase by S$1.00 at six locations across nine time periods following its Land Transport Authority’s latest review.
The agency said the revision is based on its monitoring of the traffic situation and noted that it has increased along stretches of the expressway.
“Traffic speeds at these timeslots have fallen below the optimal speed range,” said LTA in a news release,
At three locations and across four time periods, the hike in rates will be pushed back until after the December school holidays and on Jan 3, 2023.
This is due to a projected temporary improvement in traffic speeds during the school holidays, said LTA.
ERP rates for the remaining time periods, covering three locations where “low speeds would likely persist throughout the December school holidays”, will increase by S$1 from Nov 19.
For example, the Southbound Auxillary Lane to PIE Changi was S$2 before but will be S$3 now, but if you drive after 8:30 it will be S$4. Within the city, some of the zero-charged roads will no impose $1.
The last time rates were raised was back in September.
