hey guess what, 12% of singapore's land is used for roads.
and you know something? LTA is increasing it.
know why? the number of cars are increasing by 3% yearly.

hey guess what~ KPE is expected to cut travelling time for these residents by 25 per cent.
- how can you cut travelling time if you put speed cameras in the tunnel that make sure drivers don't go pass the limit of 70 kmph? .. they can't go as fast as the other drivers on other highways, which, yes will get them there faster.

" Also likely to benefit, are those living in the North - like residents of Ang Mo Kio and Yishun - should see traffic on the usually jammed Central Expressway (CTE) ease as well. "
- HEY LTA! what's the need of ERPs on the southbound CTE then? you need to pass 3 ERP gantries to get from yishun to city just by using the highways you know. =.=''

" Total length of 12km with 9km underground making it the longest underground tunnel in south-east Asia. "
- sadly, to me, KPE is just bult to impress. it's route is not exactly a very good one, consideringi t's very far away from hougang, punggol and sengkang (hey wait, don't the people there prefer the mrt? - after all LTA, you're trying to get people to use the MRT!)

'ERP ensures that road users take into account the costs of congestion when they choose to drive. Without the ERP, our roads would be choked, and even the buses would not be able to ply freely.'
- LTA, then what's the KPE for, so you can built more ERPs and collect more money?
