Admiralty 4th Gear October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 It's nut to own a car, but parked in carpark - take public transport to save on ERP, fuel cost,...etc. Why buy car in the 1st place. Strangely, I do see many cars in the carpark (normal & OPC) on a working day. Social norm these days. Put the brain power into making more $$$ better than worrying about quota of COE, basically is a demand vs supply cycle. Why bother unless it is within ones means to change the system. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiralty 4th Gear October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 OPC system is another milk-cow. It comes with 'chance' to cheat by not displaying coupon, every now & then someone kena caught...pay heavily on fine (milk becomes cheese instantly). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiralty 4th Gear October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 Some cows escape, others got stuck. lost a few cows, but still have a whole lot to slowly milk them. This is also a part of our economy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustank Hypersonic October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 about bloody time they reduce the coe quota cars are simply getting too cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhyone 4th Gear October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 about bloody time they reduce the coe quota Let's see. In 2005, 145k vehicles (of all sorts) were registered. 118k vehicles were deregistered. To reduce the vehicles on the road, there must be more vehicles taken off the road than added to it. cars are simply getting too cheap Will you sell your car if COE prices rise to $50-75k? If so, what will you do then? Bitch about public transport, high car prices and why doesn't LTA allow more cars since the roads are so empty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nlatio Turbocharged October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 I thought No. of See Ho Ee issue for the coming year is dependant on the No. of vehicle Scrap this year?? NO??? Then they should do so.... COE might sky rocket, but hell.... so be it... in this instance, 1 car replace another, so no more problem and the farking Extra Revenue Payment can be scrap.... though that is not possible unless one of us become the farking Minister....

Redboy 1st Gear October 31, 2007 Share October 31, 2007 If COE is abolished, worse still! Everywhere also jam! Then govt have to build more ERP gantries, to extent that there is one gantry outside your home carpark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hshs 5th Gear October 31, 2007 Author Share October 31, 2007 He just said the "bitter medicine" of ERP and COE are unavoidable. So we will wait for "bitter medicine" to come. If u want to drive. Prepare to swallow. That mean higher ERP and COE. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
