I drove home today from town. I was on the CTE at 9.20pm. I was driving at 80km/h. Then the sound 'BEEP' startled me. The IU reader has just deducted $1.00 off my cashcard.The government was saying that ERPs are used to control road traffic and keep them above the speed of 45km/h. I wondered if they were reasons or excuses. They added a couple of gantries, then countless and even on new roads, and then extended the hours from dawn to the wee hours of the night.
But today paints a different scenario. Traffic was smooth. There is no traffic woes. It could be due to the random nonsensical ERP hikes. It could be due to inflation. It could be due to the recession.More importantly, does our government review the policies constantly or stick to the most-profiteering scheme? Reflecting upon ourselves, it's also timely to ask - how often do we review our actions and decisions? Environment changes make our decisions all the more vulnerable. Not that we did not make the right decision, but in today's world, it's about making the decision right.
