Choo Pei Ling on Land Transport and Related Matters Bill
Safety is not just about rules but is also about space, and ERP 2.0 represents a fairer usage-based model, charging only for actual road use, said MP Choo Pei Ling. This principle is sound, but fairness must be felt across income groups and vehicle types, she said in parliament on Tuesday (Feb 3). She wanted to know how lower-income families who rely on private-hire vehicles for essential transport would be protected from disproportionate burdens under future distance-based models. Dr Choo pointed out that the Land Transport and Related Matters Bill advances safety and modernisation on the roads but stressed that the true measure lies in implementation, enforcement, fairness and infrastructure.
