According to Assistant Professor Terence Fan from the Singapore Management University, the state is acknowledging the pandemic and post-pandemic decision made by a” major party” of Singaporeans to move further away from the traditional Central Business District place in his analysis of Mr. Saktiandi’s plan.
He noted that this group may thus undergo a “one-time change and an increase in their walking needs.”
Asst. Prof. Fan noted that the idea to increase the COE limit also comes as a result of a “dramatic decrease” in taxis plied the roads.  ,
TECHNICAL” Social” Problems
However, the analysts CNA spoke to were even skeptical that a system with usage-based or distance-based getting could be completely adopted.
What is the infrastructure’s actual financial value? What is the actual financial value of the congestion? And how might these regulations affect women’s behavior? Prof. Ong asked.
According to Assoc Prof Theseira, the biggest obstacles to putting in place for actions were both politically and technically.
On the one hand, he noted that the outdated ERP structure is “fairly inflexible,” but this can be fixed by using ERP 2.0, which has the ability to help distance-based paying.  ,
Some drivers, however, would prefer to pay a sizable sum for their COE instead of paying light monthly fees to operate their vehicles. Additionally, he continued,” This problem ca n’t be so easily addressed.”  ,
” That’s where putting this idea out early, and encouraging discussion of it comes in.”
Last week, Mr. Chee stated in parliament that he hoped that people would understand that the trade-offs were” not easy, and need to be studied properly before a decision is made.”  ,
For instance, some drivers for businesses like taxis, personal hire cars, and delivery trucks are likely to pay higher usage-based fees as they travel longer distances, he explained.  ,
Although usage-based costing is in theory a good technique,” we will need to examine the impact on these parties.”
Mr. Chee argued that this would not be possible because these (usage-based claims ) would have to be set at very high prices, which might not be in line with the demands of many vehicle owners.  ,
To achieve a more healthy and lasting outcome for all stakeholders, he said,” Usage-based charges must work in tandem with ownership controls and other methods like parking fees, while ensuring easy traffic on our streets.”
