The launch of the so-called "Distance Fare" has just kicked into effect. It is supposed to create a fairer way to charge commuters - at least that was the marketing spin.
So far, personally I've been experiencing a 10 to 30% hike in fares comparing to the previous system. My statistics maybe biased as I primarily take short distance rides. Perhaps commuters who travel longer distances have lower rates ??

ERP takes it toll on regular people
Get ready folks! ERP is getting more expensive from 7th July 2008. And yes... 5 additional toll gates, higher prices (50cts more per pop), and all in the name of getting smoother traffic!
Oh well.... expect higher transportation costs, meaning business owners will increase products or services to maintain their profit margins, which means more GST to collect... bottom line is - higher inflation.
What can we do to help ourselves?
1. travel less - certainly would help.
2. travel by bus - avoid taxi and cars
3. walk if possible - more exercise - good for health
By traveling less to Orchard or Singapore River area, you not only save on transportation cost, but also expenditure on coffee, food and what not. That translate to business owners needing to transport less raw material (eg. coffee bean, cooking oil etc), into the business area. Hence win win for everyone - almost.
For the kids/teenagers - please avoid the Tolls areas to reduce ERP charges! hah
