JUST IN: ERP rates to be reduced for most gantries, some charges removed altogether amid COVID19 outbreak
SINGAPORE: Electronic Road Pricing rates will be cut at 96 per cent of gantries in Singapore, the Land Transport Authority announced on Tuesday , citing “exceptional circumstances” due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Gantries along expressways and arterial roads will see reductions of up to S$2, with ERP charges removed completely at some gantries.There will not be any ERP charges for vehicles entering the Orchard, Bugis-Marina Centre and Shenton Way-Chinatown cordons for all days of the week.LTA typically reviews ERP rates on a quarterly basis, with the next scheduled review in end-April.
“This review is not intended to encourage Singaporeans to drive and travel more, and we strongly urge all Singaporeans to continue to adhere to safe distancing measures and limit non-essential travel as much as possible,” it said. “LTA will continue to monitor the situation closely and will consider further ERP adjustments if required. We will return to the usual ERP review process when appropriate."
