      How much do you use for cashcard? And the bulk of it goes to ERP or parking?

      Yes $50 max a month, I pass by only one gantry on a daily basis. 95% of the time I don't have to fork out $, depending on time.

      Cash card is mainly for parking in malls on weekends and during lunch time, or small items in the convenience store and library fines once in a while.

      If you travel to the CBD area on a daily basis, ERP damage should be $150-$200 or so per month.

    • Imho you need figures from 10-50 drivers at least.

      Classified accordingly, depending on how precise you want your report to be.

      Consider parking fees for the open car park opp. cineleisure $6 + coupons.

      $6 for a car wash after all that goop from the birds and rats.

    • Mercedes Benz E240

      (Per Month Basis)

      Petrol - $300.00

      Insurance - $40.00

      Road Tax - $150.00

      Parking - $226.00

      ERP - $60.00

      Car Wash, Wax, Vacuuming - At home

      ERP really depends where you stay, I'd say those that stay in the East are hard hit.
