Singapore public transport is excellent. When it reaches a stage where everywhere is accessible without walking 500 feet, there would then be no need for cars. I understand that in China, petrol is very expensive and only the rich can afford to maintain a car.

Taxis will never be a hit, remember what I said before, if you feed a slave too much, he will get lazy with full of ego and pride. Govt knows that if taxis driving get too huat, too many will come in, and most will become proud with a yaya papaya lazy attitude.The ideal situation will be not so huat, yet not so bo huat, half alive, half dead type, like this, TD will have to slave for a living and at the same time, got time to rest and be fed.
And this had clearly been show by rental increases and more taxis on the road, this translate to taxis companies and govt huat big time, we still hv to peng.

But china city are jammed with cars, their cars are cheap, you go beijin, full of Audi, taxis is elantra, $2 flag down, running cheaper than us, tho china petrol is expensive, but we are also not that far in term of cost of petrol. -

Not really, Audi, BM and VW have few plants in China, Volvo now belong to china geely, I will anytime buy a Audi if living in China, if you ask any audi and VW sale people here, they will tell you make in China, like toyota and honda, make in thailand.
The German auto have move into China. In Shanghai, most cab are VW with plastic shield protection for driver, in beijin, no cover, like singapore, but it you take a cab from beijin into tianjin or chengdu, half way thru, the cab driver will ask you to go for a tea or toilet break, he will fix up a plastic shield board to cut himself from paxs, because beijin is safe, out of beijin, especially tianjin, lots of hua yuan chia

There's a few kind of brand and model of european cars are consider a very luxury to own in China.........
Of course those common model is dirt cheap la.........
Beijing, currently is booming like nobody business, many peasant turn millionaire just overnight, mainly thru property sell...........
Even some of the "rich village", you can see BMW, Volvo, Mercedes zooming in and out..........
And their Gov just throw and throw and throw money into many nonsense infra structure which turn out to become a white elephant site.........
A very good example is the 2008 Olympic stadium........currently become a sight seeing for tourist, in their local term, they call it "骗钱", collect entry fee to see stadium??? Wtf...........
Another example is this place specially built to held a Strawberry Expo, the event lasted just few days, after which, the whole place was left vacant until now..........
＂人民富裕了＂........I totally agree on this quote by their leader..........

Long long the chinese had been doing business with europe, they hate the american, but have to buy their bonds to keep the dollars afloat as chinese had invested too much with their reminbi.
During the communist period, audi, BM and VW were already there, but more for the elites and the leaders, as china liberalised, citizens become rich, they also want to feel like elites and leaders style, and at the same time, Audi BM and VW become cheaper and cheaper, with operation in china, spare part is easily available, in big cities alone, the like of guangdong, shanghai, bejin, chengdu and so on, Audi on the street is like out toyota here.
Coupled with the dislike of japan due to sour relationship and island dispute, control of koreas goods to satisfy her stubborn ally, the North korea. Conti cars in China become a norm. In Bejin alone, 1.6cc is for kids, almost 3/4 of the car population there are 2.0cc and above with europe brand, from citiroen to opal, skoda to Audi, the chinese alway like big and spacious thing, road big, car big, house big,..a sign of rich.

But then back to our MAS rules, last night at BL kopitiam, saw my friend drink stout, he told me knnccb, 2nd hand dealer boss told him, siao liao, how to sell second hand car, asked me if want to buy or not? I told him, buy ki lan.
But talk aside, I have to agree with him that this ruling might kill certain trade and some may go jobless, however, tho it can be a pain in the ass for some, other may feel the joy of it.
Nevertheless, this is not a new rules, it happened in the 90s, just that it now get tightened further. Let me see if I can buy the new K3 kia or not??/...counting..1 dollar, 2 dollar, 3 dollar...

suspect the mas curbs will mean more biz for us td's within next 1-2 mths.
we seem to have fewer taxis on road at night from 2-3 weeks ago.
Last night bus on fire at PIE end up shenton many people zero taxis at 9pm. Normally need 2 expressway to screw up then get to zero.
From seeing employers scream bout no people to hire recently suspect the 7k who become hirers last year have gone back to jobs this year.
The way the curbs play out, odds very high fare will increase this year.

This is a big shake up in the cars industry....
More cons than pros for new car ownerships....
but at the end of the day.... who will benefit ?
Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam announced this during his Budget speech on Monday and said this will contribute in about $150 million in additional revenue annually.
U see bro ? lol.

1) Road Tax
2) COE Tax
3) ERP Toll Tax
4) New Tiered Tax (based on OMV) ......
What is next ?
Buying a house will be cheaper than owning a car in Singapore.
