In the article “Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic”, Tay (2018) expresses the need for Singapore to come up with more refined approaches by the 21st century to overcome an increasing vehicle population. Of all the other solutions, the replacement of Area Licensing Scheme (ALS) to Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system had the biggest impact. Omitting the need of having officers to check on the passes, a fee is imposed and docked from every car’s smart card device when passing the gantry. The daily traffic had a significant reduction. With a better traffic flow, it decreases the time taken for people to travel to designated places. Singapore aims to continue upgrading the transportation services as well as improving road safety. Due to the advancement in technology, it has made it possible for an undergoing satellite ERP system in the future. This pursuing plan allows Singapore to keep moving forward in conjunction with substantial transport strategies and with citizens as focal point.
Hi Wan Xuan. The article has been well summarized, being straight to the point which makes it easier for readers to understand and gave a clear overview on how Singapore implement different schemes to improvise daily high traffic flow for commuters to travel smoothly and safely, and their next development on satellite ERP to improvise the current gantry ERP system.

Hi Wan Xuan, the initial sentence has appropriate citation information and supporting details are also included. In addition, you may include information on Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System (EMAS) to ease high-traffic conditions.
