ERP rates on AYE to go up from Monday
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates at three gantries on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) will be increased from Monday, the Land Transport Authority said yesterday.
Motorists passing gantries located after Jurong Town Hall and in the direction of the city will pay $2 instead of $1 now. The new rates will apply from 6pm to 6.30pm.
ERP rates at all other gantries will remain unchanged, the LTA said, following its quarterly review of traffic conditions on ERP-priced roads and expressways. The next review will take place in the middle of next month.
