The Singapore experience: the evolution of technologies, costs and benefits, and lessons learnt

Road pricing has long been associated with Singapore, starting way back in June 1975. Many changes have been made to the road pricing scheme since that time. Started as a manual scheme based on paper permits and hence, using little technology, it has evolved to become a sophisticated system today, involving various technologies. The economic principles for road pricing however, continue to be valid but the charging structure has been evolving to keep the scheme effective, and deriving benefits to the community as a whole.
