and u cant take monaco as an example... they dun have income tax for individuals there.... its an exception... -
Depends how you want to look at it, average car per family is about 1, if rich enough, maybe 2. While in other countries, average household probably owns up to 3 or more cars. Its only the size of Singapore that makes Singapore looks too packed.Originally posted by guppyman:There are too many cars in Singapore...
Agree -
u guys should say sg got too little cars..like that the gov wont raise the prices of the cars
-
then there will really be too many cars.. then ppl will rather take public transport to avoid the packed roads since now buses have their own bus lanes..Originally posted by Garage R:u guys should say sg got too little cars..like that the gov wont raise the prices of the cars -
As long as you can still find a lot wherever you go, singapore can still accomodate more cars. Just take a look at san francisco alone, now that is a good example of too many cars.

Why not take public transport? -
Yes, we should limit the number of cars further. Cut down on the number of COEs, double the road tax but half the tax for hybrid cars and those running on green technology.

For once I'll agree with you that not enough is being done to promote greener cars or make them more affordable.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Yes, we should limit the number of cars further.

That's because too many voters want their cars and complain in the media all the time about the cost of owning a car. I want the government to stop listening to the rants and do what is right. Double the road tax and impose a higher tax for the most polluting vehicles, half the road tax for green cars and cut car population by reducing the number of COEs.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:For once I'll agree with you that not enough is being done to promote greener cars or make them more affordable.
But I also want to introduce mandatory GPS speed limiters and alcohol ignition interlock systems. You will not agree with that -
I think Singapore's Merc cabs only got E220 CDIs (pre-facelift and facelifted versions) and the E200 NGT ba? Haha..and I thought there was news about SMART Taxi using Hyundai Azeras as cabs too? So long still not out yet? Converting it to run on CNG so long ah? Lolx..Originally posted by Garage R:if i m not wrong,i think we do..i have seen it b4..just that most of them is E200? and E220..i might be wrong though..but not fully wrong -
now taxi use KIA now
-
The Kia Magentis 2.0 CRDi is used by Silvercab under their "Premium" line of taxis. SMART Taxi was rumoured to be using Hyundai Azera 3.3 V6 converted to run on CNG to be their limo cabs. There was even newspaper article about it. But until now not out yet.Originally posted by pqr:now taxi use KIA now -

Damn right I don't see why responsible drivers should be made to go through all the hassle and have the joy of driving killed.

I saw a Merc cab with the AMG badge... so does that mean that Merc cabs in Singapore are AMG tuned too??Originally posted by Garage R:if i m not wrong,i think we do..i have seen it b4..just that most of them is E200? and E220..i might be wrong though..but not fully wrong
