My guess is to keep up, you have to make as much money as possible to maintain the lifestyle you want in sg. things are raising too fast for our salary to catch up.

Yups!! Can tell those ppl whose car are allowed to park along the dbl yellow line along taka driveway at the carpark entrance this too! "Got money to pay for quater mill cars but don't want to go into the carpark..got space in there laaa!! Dunno how to park or scared of the parking charges at taka? If lazy gime the car I become your driverr"....if don't want to pay parking fee....I dunno wat to say liao......heeheee

Building management, and they already All have Chaufferurs. It's simply more convenient to leave the building from that spot as opposed to snaking down the carpark exit pathway.

You really don't think before you share your opinions huh..

I, for one, am hoping for the rise and rise and rise of COE prices and private housing in this god-foresaken land. Love it! Couldn't ask for anything less.

I also once suggested to my MP that ERP should be $100 for all gantries. Not enough in your cash card? Fine $150.
Then see how much better your city and expressway traffic improves.

I can't help but thought that you sound like some sort of sadist huh ...

The ERP system isn't helping. Raising the charges further may have an impact but before that happens, MRT trains should be more reliable and taxis should be more readily available.

But all things considered, this beats (hands down) cities like KL and Jakarta.

This is what hope the govt can consider:

1. Improve the quality and frequency of buses and mrts
2. If there is a shortage of buses, y not encourage private buses to fill the gap?
3. built cycling routes in the city areas coupled with safe places to park your bike.

Talking about cycling, my ex boss told me france has this system whereby u can go to a public bike kiosk, ride and park it at the nearest kiosk to your intended destination. Twice a day, a lorry will shift all the bikes back to its original destination. I think, this could really work in SG.

Mal,

In France, they have a tendency to give way to cyclists though I have to admit that somethings the drivers there are like F1 drivers, esp around Arc De Tromphe area.

Erm, cycling in Singapore, recent incident of one of the forumer here..... Sad
