These new prices will only last for four weeks, spanning the duration of the school holidays.
In a press release on Monday (20 May), the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said it had completed a review of the ERP rates for the June school holidays.
As a result, ERP rates will go down at selected locations from 27 May to 23 June.
The rates will go back up from 24 June.
Rates for other gantries in other locations will stay the same.
A total of seven locations will see a S$1 ERP rate decrease across 12 30-minute timeslots.
The set of three gantries on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) towards the city after Jurong Town Hall Road will deduct S$1 from 7.30am to 8.30am instead of S$2.
The charge will go down further to nothing from 9.30am to 10am. From 5.30pm to 6pm, they will charge S$2, from S$3.
For the gantry on the westbound AYE after North Buona Vista Road in the direction of Tuas, it will cost S$1 instead of S$2 from 6pm to 6.30pm.
On the southbound Central Expressway (CTE), a gantry before Braddell Road will levy S$1 from 7am to 8am, down from S$2.
The set of four gantries on the southbound CTE after Braddell Road, as well as the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) slip road into the southbound CTE, will charge S$1 from 7.30am to 8am and S$3 from 8am to 8.30am. This is a decrease from S$2 and S$4 respectively.
