Because I heard from horses' mouths that PHV vehicle rental companies are now phasing out some "old" inventories. fk the PHV companies bidding up COE PHV companies is like Taxi companies, should ban them from bidding COE bid high high and simply raise the rental cost and the cost is subsequently transfer to “consumer” Edited June 22, 2022 by Wt_know 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitmugen 5th Gear June 22, 2022 Share June 22, 2022 Government should look at Cat A and Cat D to ensure that vehicle ownership is not out of reach for the masses. I suggest 20% of Cat B and E quota move to Cat A. This should bring down Cat A to around $50k. Cat B and E price can be sky high as people choose to buy big cars. Nobody force them. Cat D quota can be increased unilaterally 20% as motorcycles don’t cause traffic jams like cars do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many small cars but above 130bhp also in Cat B. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLing 1st Gear June 22, 2022 Share June 22, 2022 RadX’s millionaire migration chart is eye opening. I wonder how other populations will react if the same things that are happening in their countries,eg ASEAN countries (migration, inflation & becoming foreigners’ paradise).

They have nothing to do with "car-liteness". In fact buses are substitute for car transportation and they cater to the general public and so their higher acquisition costs also ultimately adversely impact transportation costs of the population who use public transportation. Goods vehicles are the essential cogs in economic activities and their vehicular costs are direct costs in consumer goods and services which also ultimately become more expensive. And in the end, those higher costs and prices of goods and services enable the govt to collect higher quantum of GST. The govt just want to eat the cake and still have the cake. :// 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus those CB buses and PA buses used to ferry school children and providing shutter services are under COE, their higher purchase costs ultimately mean higher fees charged to parents and also higher prices paid by workers. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensky 1st Gear June 22, 2022 Share June 22, 2022 It’s not rocket science to understand that w a quota (and a small one) prices will rise. This isn’t a bad thing as in an open economy those who wish to buy one should be prepared to pay above all others. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
