LTA further added that the rates for other previously announced timeslots and gantries remain unchanged.
It also noted that even with these adjustments, the number of locations and timeslots charged is still lower than the period before the pandemic.
LTA also said they will continue to monitor traffic speeds and congestion levels closely and assess if ERP rates need to be further adjusted.
