Popular Culture
Singapore's ERP system has inspired Jack Neo to write a film. In Money No Enough 2 (钱不够用2), the movie's starting had shown ERP gantries placed all around the island, making the people finally protest, and they somehow had thrown ERP gantries into a river. Also, the film had severe criticism about ERP, mentioning that other Heads of States get taxes in a peacable manner, while the Singaporean government "sucks in" the money.
The ERP is sometimes referred to as "Exorbitant Road Pricing" by locals and taxi drivers.
