The Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced earlier today (10 February) that the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates will be increased by $1 at a few locations along the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) and the Central Expressway (CTE).
The ERP gantries along the AYE after Jurong Town Hall heading towards the city will see their prices upped to $1 between 8am and 8.30am, and $2 from 8.30am to 9am.
The AYE gantry after North Buona Vista heading towards Tuas will see the prices upped to $1 from 6pm to 7pm.
The four gantries along the CTE after Braddell Road and the PIE slip road heading into CTE, will see the prices upped to $2 from 9.30am to 10am.
Two of the gantries on the CTE heading north after PIE will see the prices upped to $2 from 5.30pm to 6pm, $3 from 6.30pm to 7pm, and $1 from 7pm to 7.30pm.
LTA said that the increase in ERP is to manage the congestion on those areas, as they noted that traffic was building up at certain stretched of AYE and CTE.
