sinkapore has too many cars, period.
i encountered the silliness many times as well where you drive
200 metres, you see 3 traffic lights ahead of you.
Many times/locations if i may add. buy expensive car but don't
drive is an oxymoron, unless u r $ loaded.
car is a necessity for me but for work, i take alternative
transport 2 days in a week. part of it is to reduce carbon
footprints and the others is really to be able to find some time to
catch up on books/papers. my job is deskbound.
the gahmen needs to take a hardline approach to this in terms of
car ownership is concerned, altho' i agree it is a very challenging
issue. they need to improve the transport system. they r way behind
on this. too much talk.
in tokyo or NYC, ppl actually prefer the subways as it is a
quicker way around. i spent 2 weeks in tokyo last year and it
practically takes you to any locality you have in mind with short
walks after u alight at the station, even obscure one. i am very
impressed.
