Edward Chia on Land Transport and Related Matters Bill
The Land Transport and Related Matters Bill offers Singapore an opportunity to move beyond a narrow conception of ERP as simply a pricing mechanism - towards a smarter integrated mobility system that uses data to optimise traffic flow, guide infrastructure planning, improve public transport reliability and enhance user experience. MP Edward Chia, who highlighted the potential benefits in parliament on Wednesday (Feb 4), stressed the need to support safety, be clear-eyed about who may be left behind with the introduction of a Certificate of Medical Need, sustained enforcement and a sensible transition period.
