Whoa dear..blow me down. First it was £5, and then £8 …and now the Mayor of London announced that the congestion charge will be £25!
That to the dear Malaysian is about RM200! Which it reminds me of the Scandinavian Road Bridge in Denmark which cost almost the same and so as the Tunnel from Copenhagen to Malmo per way!
I seriously hated that because I myself have a couple of Warrants from Bow Court for NOT PAYING the charges on a daily basis…but it’s getting ridiculous! Parking alone there cost about £4 an hour which is like RM30! It’s bad for the driver..because mainly they can frigging afford it. It was told that the charges will be more if the engine exceeds 3000cc!
What this relates to our Malaysian friends is that the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur actually thought of that aspect, other than smacking people with RM100 fines for dodgy parking antics. They were actually thinking of the same thing what island city of Singapore doing, Electronic Road Pricing in favour of Toll Roads. Singaporeans pay as it is, about S$28 per way from Woodlands to the CBD + parking rates at peak hours, morning and evening!
Will you actually pay RM200 just to drive into DBKL roads…or will you hit the public transport?
You Choose!
Public Transport is better
