Grid-lock in Sg car ownership.
It seem like that is no direct solution to traffic jams in Singapore. In my personal opinion, making cars more expensive makes it more attractive to own one. It doesn't really deter people from owning one. It just simply defer people from buying, as this is just a temporary solution. People will always try to own one car no matter what. Maybe with special package loan, or share the cost with someone else, everyone wants a car, as it is seem as a luxury even so with the soaring car prices I foresee in the coming months. Expensive = Luxury. As you can see in other countries, owning a car is a necessity to travel from point A to point B. Cars is seen as a means of transport rather than a luxury in other countries.
Other measures of easing the traffic is as what the government is doing, increasing the standards of the public transport sector. This will go hand in hand with the other measures that is in place, and in fact i feel that this will work better than constantly increasing the cost of owning a car as it increasing the number of complaints and unhappiness of the general public. Why increase the unhappiness and sweetened it with rebates, when you can increase the general public happiness and trusts drastically by using other means?
