  Difference between full time and off peak car is S$17,000/-.
  
  But the coupon costs ($20/- X 365 day x 10 years) = $73,000/- for the same period of 10 years.
  
  LTA why like that ?

  dun count weekends and PH,
  
  try doing the maths. furthermore, the main aim is not your OPC coupons, itz your parking, ERPs, summons that they are more interested in..

  If a full time car $37 000 / 3650 days = $10.137 per day
  
  Then an opc car cost $20 000 / 3650 days =$5.479 per day but the coupon is $20/- per day leh.

  There is a reason why it is called OPC.

  but on a per day basis one coupon it's like paying for 2 full time cars on top of wat u already paid.

  OPC cars need to be inspected ANNUALLY to make sure the car plate is not being tampered. Why should Singapore motorists bear the costs for their enforcement? Then its more than $20/- already

  I suspect qpicanto is a new car owner, maybe a young one, who has no idea what COE, OPC, DSL, PARF, ARF, etc. mean. The questions don't make sense and the first calculation is alreadi wrong.

  LTA should provide flexibility into this OPC scheme. More might convert (not those big car ) to OPC if the coupon system could be refined.
  
  Annual inspection to check the plate , come on these day go reservist also no need booklet already. This time of age we still rely on the colour of the plate.
