Beanoyip Turbocharged November 22, 2020 Share November 22, 2020 Totally agree with you, sometimes its chore, especially with heavy traffic and all, you wished you were taking public transport. I especially liked driving during the lockdown period where the roads were almost emptied, parking was available everywhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also people that find places far away just to 'make use' of their car when a drive nearby can yield the same outcome. In SG context, probably yes, because since you already paid so much for the car, might as well use it to its fullest! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginyu 4th Gear November 23, 2020 Share November 23, 2020 (edited) If one need to justify car ownership, it gives an impression, somehow one might be struggling to maintain it financially if not then don’t think so much and enjoy it🤣 Edited November 23, 2020 by Ginyu 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, when i am stuck in a heavy traffic or even jam, i wish i am taking the train. Whether i am the one driving or just as a passenger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlammy 6th Gear November 23, 2020 Share November 23, 2020 At least for some, they consider letting the car go first. Worse if struggling but still holding on. That said, there are friends who sold during current times because they felt they won't need a car for quite some time esp with WFH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexSim Neutral Newbie November 23, 2020 Share November 23, 2020 For points 1-3, most singaporeans (at least from my circle), don't really care about parking costs.. convenience is priority. So, to me most of the points are already thrown out the window 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think many people would want to walk far just for the free parking, imagine during hot weather or stormy weather, not very fun to walk a distance to and fro from the car la. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinhwc 2nd Gear November 23, 2020 Share November 23, 2020 My take is that the car is for convenience. If the cost of parking and petrol is a concern, then no point owning a car unless you need it to earn a living. Walking 15 mins for a free carpark doesn't seem to go well with the idea of convenience. Might as well pay for a grab. Cheaper than owning a car. Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say about affordability. If the sole purpose of having a car is for convenience, walking for free parking is not convenient. So, you would rather inconvenient yourself for parking so that you get the convenience of driving (sounds wrong to me)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say 10-15mins walking distance to mrt station is considered "convenient" and the property has "good location". So to each his own I guess.

Agree.... 10-15 walk to mrt is convenient provided I don't have a car... if I have a car and need to walk 10-15 mins just because of free parking, might as well just take MRT... don't need the car.

If you are wearing a long sleeve shirt and walk 10-15 mins, under the hot weather whole shirt sure sweat until wet. Or if during heavy rain, shoes and pants confirmed totally wet. Lol.

Last time, my office is Centennial Tower. The cheapest car park is at Flyer. But have to walk in either hot sun or wet days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
