Time is valued as much here as in US and British cities, study finds By Maria Almenoar
HOW much would a motorist be willing to pay to avoid congestion on the roads? Or, if you prefer public transport, how high would you go for a seat on that bus or train to work?
Just about double whatever it takes now to get a smooth ride, it seems, according to a new survey commissioned by the Land Transport Authority (LTA).
LTA economist Raymond Toh presented the findings at the ongoing World Roads Conference, although he made clear that these values had no direct link to bus or train fares or road tolls.
The survey of 4,000 respondents - 40 per cent were motorists and the rest public transport commuters - was meant to help transport planners gauge what motorists and commuters are willing to pay to save time.
'Ultimately, it gives us a better gauge of passenger behaviour in different scenarios to better plan future projects,' said Mr Toh.
The findings also showed that commuters and motorists here valued their time as much as their counterparts in cities in Britain and the United States, where similar surveys were carried out.

they are already evaluating/testing the system if im not wrong...
Err... in future, you will count yourself lucky if they do not tax you for breathing air...:bsmilie:hopefully it dun come to a point where u have to pay just to walk in the streets... :bsmilie:
If I am not wrong, it was already evaluated and tested 3 years ago, but the challenge is
whether the policy maker dare to implement such system here. :bsmilie:
every morning still got a lot of ppl taking mrt...

Hmmmm.. if ERP system were to be implement in london, i think the ppl there will just *EXPLODE* go on a strike and go crazy burning down or destroy all the ERP gantries. singapore so small already so many gantries, london so big. can't imagine how many gantries it will be.
oh... was only told by a relative recently who works in the LTA that they are testing it... :think:
anyway my view is being a country like ours, sooner or later the cost will be like driving in London...
err... they already have i think... congestion charge or something cant remember... 8 pounds :sweat:

Yes.. London has their Congestion charges too.. and its damn ex... So, in fact.. count ourselves lucky to have cheap ERP.. hahaha.. ironic?
Aiyah.. cannot compare whole of Singapore to whole of London... Our ERP only situated close to the city central... and mostly in the CBD area... same thing for LOndon... their congestion charges apply to London city centre... the surburbs wont be charged...
policy makers shld take public transport themselves...
