Do you think a car in singapore is necessary ??
-
discuss.
cars are affordable nowadays. but the thought of owning one is expensive, esp. with higher taxes, erp charges and gst.
wat do you think ? take public transport squeezing in the ham-packed bus, or for image sake, don upon the 7 series and cruise off in style ? -
-
No I dont. I am a very environmental friendly person. I will take public transport instead of cars because public transport like buses can reduce emmision up to 120 time.

no it's not necessary really
i find singapore's transport system very connected.... can get anywhere easily... if lazy to change bus/mrt etc, take a cab oso very convenient -
how can it reduce emission up 2 120times when the 66.6% says that petrol-driven cars are more environmentally friendly ? i thought that was the reason why they did not allow diesel-powered cars ?Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:No I dont.

you must measure on how many people a bus can transport and a car can transport.Originally posted by donald_trump:how can it reduce emission up 2 120times when the 66.6% says that petrol-driven cars are more environmentally friendly ? i thought that was the reason why they did not allow diesel-powered cars ? -

Public transport can also reduce traffic jams and free up road space...Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:you must measure on how many people a bus can transport and a car can transport.
Imagine the space occupied by a bus carrying 100 passengers, and the space occupied by 100 cars with 1 driver... (Even if 4 people share 1 car, it will take 25 cars to transport 100 people.)
This is one reason why I prefer public transport. I don't wanna contribute to traffic congestions and global warming. Another reason is that I wanna save money... Public transport may be getting more and more expensive, but I feel that having a car is even much much more expensive. (To me, a car is a big liability, since it depreciates quickly.) -
Sure it's not necessary for most ppl.
But if you can try to make full use of the car, and use the car to help u make money, then it's better, or else it's just luxury. -

i'm a person who takes public transport and only drives twice a week!
a car is necessary if the journey frm Point A to B is not congested. (just take the rightmost lane and gooo!!!)
a car is NOT necessary if the journey frm Point A to B is congested. (buses have bus lanes, even full day bus lanes.. trains run underground and avoid all congestion. slow traffic only tires you down)
COE, road tax, insurance, season parking, cashcard, petrol, servicing........ monthly instalments. -
car is not necessary in Singapore. but if u love cars and love to drive, u'll still buy it. like me. its rather expensive though..i spend more then 1.5k every month on car/driving expenses..sometimes i feel isnt it better if i save that 1.5K every month.

even with public transport, you most probably wont take anymore than 2 hours to get to wherever you wanna go.
my aunt has to drive 2 hours to get to work every morning. and thats on a good day. -
