        Not OP but it’s possible if you stay in the north like CCK or Sembawang and need to travel to Changi Business Park for work.

      public transport journeys get less comfy as demand increases, but car journeys just take longer

      like a 30 minute journey taking 2-3 hours kind of longer

      idk about you, but I’d rather endure some discomfort than spunk hours of my day down the drain

      Fuck me, what MRT ride takes more than 1.5 hours? I’ve done Tampines to Admiralty before and it was less than that.

      You need to travel more, perhaps you’ll appreciate our public transport some more. There’s a reason why you’re not getting support here. You’re just sounding like an entitlted person who wants a luxury mode of transport in a small city state that’s already pretty crowded with cars despite the stupid prices on them.

      Lol I’m guessing you’ve never taken bart or the mta. Singapore’s mrt is leagues better.

      On the other hand, can you even comprehend what traffic and parking would be like if Singapore had US car laws? You should come to the states and try commuting daily into downtown SF or NY and see what that’s like.

      Name a city with decent public trans that isn’t super packed during peak periods. I’ve never seen one.

      I mean on the other end of the spectrum, you NEED car because there’s no public transport. Just cross the island and you will see why that wish is quite a monkey’s paw.

      There’s a cost to cars that most people don’t pay, in terms of their pollution and negative impact on the world. I wish others had to pay it as well, but it’s not bad to make the person who will pollute a bunch pay for that ahead of time
