Chogokin 1st Gear January 6, 2013 Share January 6, 2013 1 household 1 car policy is very debatable i.e. needs, enforceability issues, car collectors, complication in administerating such policy. LTA have to devise an efficient transport system to discourage those who drive and park in workplace 9-5. Let's face it, there is jams everywhere during the peak hours, and the objective of LTA is to ensure smooth traffic. The main culprits are those who choose to drive rather than to take public transport to work. Increase carpark cost in the workplaces like Hong Kong, and you will see less people driving to work. $20 daily parking fees doesn't deter people paying more than $80,000 COEs to drive to work. Maybe $900 monthly season parking fee, will dampen the need to drive to work. When more people choose to take public transport, then public transport will evolve i.e. premium bus services, more express buses, office buses, premium MRT cabins during peak hours for those who are willing to pay more for a seat. If i not wrong, there is an express bus service to Shenton Way, think the price is more than $4/-. Cfm have a seat cos no standing allow..... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblack Neutral Newbie January 6, 2013 Share January 6, 2013 Do away with the concept of city centre and residential "outskirts." Integrate them. If I could walk 15 minutes to my office, I would. I wouldn't even be adding to the traffic. Nice concept, may take another hundred years. I could not see any reason those big institution to move outside CBD. Maybe we can start calling our local MAS, DBS, OCBC, UOB to go bedok or AMK... By doing that those estate holding company will either go bust or their shares will go up afew times... we will be no difference like what Myammar did by moving their capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw.

By doing that those estate holding company will either go bust or their shares will go up afew times... we will be no difference like what Myammar did by moving their capital from Yangon to Naypyidaw. I think it's a common mindset that should be changed. Moving within Singapore is even nearer than moving within Yangon. It's because we believe we must follow how others organise their cities that we cannot accept change. Why do you see that companies located in bedok or amk will go bust?

If we need to change this, vote wisely next round. In my humble opinion, I think one is being naive if he/she thinks a change in government is all it'll take to turn around the situation. We've got a bigger challenge on our hands, in balancing the desire for car ownership and Singapore's lack of pure physical space, that goes beyond mere politics.

Changing the control party does not mean it will solve the problem. Actually I am not sure whether veryfree meant what you desc . I read it as vote for the one that give you the solution or at least a better solution. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
