Driving into the City in Singapore is getting more expensive

With 7 more gantries going live along the banks of the Singapore River on July 7, there will be in total 65 gantries island wide.
While gantries in the business district will stay on an hour longer, the ones in Orchard road will go on an hour earlier.
There will be higher Electronic Road Pricing (ERP)charges at 37 gantries.
The higher prices are part of an effort to speed up the traffic in the city during peak hours.
Inflation is no excuse to keep the prices low says MR. Cedric Foo.
What ever way helps to get money out of peoples pocket. And again it is the middle class that will suffer the most!
They also say that there are more people taking public transportation.
Then why don't they start to put more busses in use so that the people are not packed like sardines?
The public transportation companies should not put timetables on the board when they can not stick to it!
960 please be on time for once!!!!!!

I don't know how is in Singapore but in Egypt they almost don't have any semaphore, In Cairo I just see 3 semaphores after we cross over the town.
