MOTORISTS will get 'discounts' on electronic road-pricing (ERP) rates during the December school break.

This time, the reductions are $1 on most of the priced roads leading into the city. Charges which are currently at 50 cents, such as on Bendemeer Road, Thomson Road and Toa Payoh Lorong 6, will be removed.

The reduced rates apply from Nov 15 to Dec 31, in anticipation of lighter traffic that comes with the holiday period. Pre-school holiday charges will revert on Jan 2.
