Chewbacca 1st Gear July 13, 2012 Share July 13, 2012 Or another scheme or something. Some sort where the owner of a car is limited to 1 day user per week (or similar, maybe 52 days a year). Extremely restricted usage at much lower COE prices. Of course, there's no way to regulate it right now. Only chance is probably GPS tracking.... I really don't mind, at this point......I don't need to use a car a lot of times......just sometimes, when I go back to JB I guess Cat A car will be something like 63K next bidding. Sigh...... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh...... if liddat, why stop at "1 day per week usage" COE? might as well have a "drive kids to school" COE. or "drive to visit friends" COE. or a "drive out eat supper" COE. or....or....well, u get the drift.

Is already restricted during the day from 7am-7pm what more do you think garment will implement? opc is still considered not a very small group as it groups all those driving during off peak hour together. what soya and me is saying is if you continue dividing the opc group, it gets very small and with much more varieties, making adminstration and enforcement very difficult. it doesn't bother me, but i can think like the administrators and know they will not really agree.

Rosschang 1st Gear July 13, 2012 Share July 13, 2012 anything that does not constitute addition $$$ to zee GarBerMent's coffer will not even be consider... lol... I suppose we can be as imaginative and creative as we would wish to change the status quo... but how many of these will make it?... the next thing u know, someone will be spending millions to some consultancy to propose a new viable COE which could probably be almost similar to existing...

If the users are prepared to pay all the additional admin cost etc associated with these "niche" scheme, why not? The question is are they prepared to pay? If the savings from current high COE prices can more than cover these extra costs / charges, maybe some users may bite? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alheych 6th Gear July 13, 2012 Share July 13, 2012 let's put it very bluntly from a policy perspective: it is the government's job to ensure people get to wherever they need to get to. so if they don't come up with a transport system that works effectively and efficiently, it's their fault. it is not the government's duty to fulfill your aspirations of owning a car. so they shouldn't bother to design a scheme just to lower the barriers of entry to car ownership. however, you may be unhappy and don't vote for them the next time round. then it'll be beyond policy, it'll become politics. politically, the government has tried several things to appease the populace. most measures are mild, such as deferring the correction by one year so as to cushion the impact of a massive COE cut. they shouldn't have to do that by reason, but people don't buy cars by reason. they then need to deal with the unintended consequence of inflation brought about by increasing transport costs. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
