I spent most of the traveling in my day on the MRT, but I took several crappy pics when I used my feet for transport!

Basically a bunch of random tolls, designed to cut down on traffic and car usage.
According to Wikipedia:
The Electronic Road Pricing ( ERP ) ( Malay : Sistem Elektronik Kadar Jalan ; Chinese : ) system is an electronic toll collection scheme adopted in Singapore to manage traffic by way of road pricing . Within the restricted zone itself, traffic has gone down by about 13% during ERP operational hours, with vehicle numbers dropping from 270,000 to 235,000. It has been observed that car-pooling has increased, while the hours of peak vehicular traffic has also gradually eased and spread into off-peak hours, suggesting a more productive use of road space.
So it’s good for traffic and “good for the environment”, but to most, it's just another reason why it sucks to own a car in SG.
