>DRIVERS befuddled by Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges and the mounting tally of gantries can now go online for some relief.
A new mapping service on motoring website Oneshift.com lets drivers plot their journey. It also lists the number of gantries they will pass through, along with their associated charges.
Oneshift's managing director Evan Lee said the program is a response to the growing number of ERP gantries, which will hit 65 by Monday.
"So many are sprouting up and we thought that it might be quite confusing for people who might not know where they are and how much they charge," said Mr Lee.
But the destinations available in the system's database are, for now, limited.
For example, those who key in Ngee Ann City as their waypoint will be given directions to Ngee Ann Polytechnic instead.
Mr Lee said his team is still upgrading the maps to make more locations available to the public.
