when the population reaches 6.5mil... you will know our solution... as cities expands... additional facilities will be added... this is the norm as cities rises in sizes....

until then... please do not use our current system to fit a 6.5mil population... its like asking me how to fit a sumo wrestler into a baby clothes.... sure cannot one.

dont be stupid...

ERP is useful... but i personally believe that the LTA can make our road better... instead of simply relying on prices to regulate traffic flow...

maybe they need a new boss with more creative mind.

ya and soon you will see the ERP on these smaller roads too. so what now?

and frecking sbs+smrt doesn't seem willing to increase frequency of their already overpacked trains+buses.

u go geylang, u see all the sellers openly selling. but govt seldom catch them

i think that is their tactic

they dun go after the sellers. they go after buyers.

go after sellers, must put them up in jail = spend money on them

go after buyers, fine them $500 per packet = get money for govt coffers

if you seriously think that we have got so much space to expand to accomodate 6.5mil when at currently we're already the 4th most densest country, then by all means go ahead. i'm on the other side of the fence.

we are the 4th most densest country in the world because of our geographical size...

if you look at the population density by cities... singapore would be at 29.
