| Uhm. No one is concerned on how the COE pricing is now ?
COEs for big cars rose S$9,700 to S$36,089.
Premiums for small cars jumped S$7,587 to S$28,389.
COEs for commercial vehicles rose S$5,889 to S$32,890. |

| hi,
actually, to be frank, there are advantages with high COE...make it less affordable, afterall, here public transport is well convenient and cars are actually consider luxury...
i still remember the older days, we have to pay 30% downpayment if we wanna buy a car, which actually i still think it is much better than current system.
I have friends working in bank and towing company, and with 0% downpayment and low COE, everyone buy cars and yet not afford to substan the cost of ownership, causing so many re-possesing on vehicle...
no offence, this is just my opinion...keke

Snowman,
Public transport is convenient ?
Err.. I have to disagree - partially. Have you try to get taxi in the morning ? The price already $10 when you sit in one ! (provided u can get one within 15 min) Then the bus service is totally erratic. MRT is ok, but I wished they implemented express service like what NY and Tokyo have. Sometimes sardine too... |

| many golf ranges are totally inaccessible without a car. Can you imagine going to starry starry Nite by cab.. then you will need to walk out to take a cab from the main road or call a cab?
can anyone tell what bus goes to MBGC? :p |

My friend who works in CBD told me that it cost him $17 to go to MBGC by cab from Tanjong Pagar *hail, not call. Woot....
But actually most ranges and golf courses are quite inaccessible by public transport (bus and train).
MBGC - no access
Warren - 15 min walk from bus stop ?
Laguna - no access
OCC - no access
Bishan - walk 10 min from bus stop
TMCC/NSRCC Changi - no access
Not sure about others... |

Hi,
i think to a certain extent, it is.
I have took cab in japan, and the price is at least triple what we are paying here, the meter jump so fast that i almost had heart attack...keke
However, the train timing is superb sharp, and that is becasue there are so many different train company sharing the same platform and timing become a very crucial factor.
I had ask some of my japanese colleague and they prefer to take train to work than drive there, and some even had to take at least 2hr train ride.
When i'm staying in US, i saw people waiting in bus-stop, when i drove pass them for lunch, had my lunch for 45min, drove back and i saw the same group of people still waiting for their bus.
The cab is expensive there, and it turn out that driving is a more convenient way of transport.
these are my observation during my biz trip and somehow, it changes some of my perspective about transportation here in Singapore...
but to be honest, it's still many people's dream to own a car and a house...i have to admit that..keke
