SINGAPORE - Reports of increased Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) rates to take effect in June are false, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) on May 5.
In a Facebook post, LTA debunked claims circulating on 'some websites and social media pages' asserting toll hikes of between 50 cents and $1 during peak periods at the major gantries.
These included gantries located on the CTE, PIE, AYE and MCE.
LTA has not announced the ERP rates for June, it said, and reminded road users to always refer to LTA's official channels for the latest information.

Trump assurance of US support for Aukus to Starmer some consolation for Albanese after meet cancelled
US President Donald Trump (left) and British PM Keir Starmer shake hands as they speak to reporters during the G-7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada. PHOTO: AFP – A much-vaunted meeting between Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Donald Trump to discuss the future of a three-way security pact that also involves Britain did not take place as planned at the Group of Seven (G-7) Summit in Calgary, after the American leader abruptly left to deal with the Israel-Iran war. Nevertheless, Canberra's concerns about the US commitment to the Aukus pact – which involves the supply of nuclear-powered submarines to Australia at a cost of A$368 billion (S$306.73 billion) – were partially assuaged when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer appeared to secure the backing of the mercurial Mr Trump for the deal.
