I said so🤭
Noting that the economics of a private-hire car are “much more efficient”, Mr Siow asked: “If you had one COE left to allocate, is it better to allocate it to a private car owner, who then drives maybe two trips a day and leaves the car in the garage?
“Or is it better to share the car among a much larger group of Singaporeans who can have access to the use of a car when they need it? Surely it must be the latter, right?”
