SINGAPORE: Beginning on November 1st, company vehicles like buses and taxis will be replaced with the new on-board unit( OBU ) under the ERP 2.0 system. & nbsp,
A control system, an transmitter, and a laptop screen will make up the new OBU. These three parts may be combined into a single item device in motorcycles. & nbsp,
Some drivers griped that the new vehicle would be too hefty and unattractive when the pattern was first unveiled in 2020. The Land Transport Authority ( LTA ) announced on Monday( Oct 23 ) that drivers can choose not to install the touchscreen display after taking in the feedback. & nbsp,
CNA explains how this might impact drivers and what to anticipate from the OBU setup procedure.
What data may be displayed on the touch? & nbsp,
According to LTA, all eligible Singapore-registered cars will receive their product for free and are” highly encouraged” to fit all three OBU parts in order to get the full range of features.
The touch screen does provide drivers with ERP-related details like ERP fees and card balance. Additionally, it may offer updates on the road and visitors, including where to find Silver Zones, school zones, rate cameras, and vehicle lanes. & nbsp,
Silver Zones are designated residential sections with a great senior population where the speed limit is lowered.
