Originally posted by Rbs70:On 1 May 1990, the then transportation unit of Singapore's Public Works Department (PWD) instituted a quota limit to vehicles called the COE when rising affluence in the city-state catapulted land transport network usage and previous measure to curb vehicle ownership by simply increasing road taxes was ineffective in controlling vehicle population growth. The premise was that the small city-state had limited land resources and with demand for vehicle ownership spiralling out of control, would result in traffic conditions exceeding the criterion of a healthy road network that is sustainable by developments in land transport infrastructure resulting in gridlock. Along with acongestion tax called Electronic Road Pricing, the COE system is one of the key pillars in Singapore's traffic management strategies that aims to provide a sustainable urban quality of life for her citizens.

But, during peak hr, most of the vehicle otr
are van,lorry,bus and taxi...
why pte car become the victim to be blame and paid for high coe..
aiyo, u singaporean? that because pte car owner r ku ku 1.. bo bian, caught with the pant down.. bus, lorry, motorbikes n vans.. most of them belong to the low end working class ( poor people ) very hard to squeese $ ma..
pte car owners, esp cat b n open cat.. who care how expensive the coes has becomes.. the mindset is no $ dun buy big car..
but, i think the main reason for the new measures is simple.. even silly ppl with coconut brain can also c that the main road, expressway, your way or my way during peak hour really got very little capacity for extra cars liao..
so base on the reason of high coes, slow down the no. of cars being put otr..using time to expand the road to allow more cars, later..
Whether COE up or down big time, taxi company will never be siao leow
the one ki siao are the ones who lease taxi from them daily ...
