COE, cars and commuting: Does Singapore need to rethink car ownership?

from CNA938 Rewind · host CNA

With COE prices remaining high, car ownership continues to be a major talking point in Singapore. A recent CNA commentary argues instead of asking how to make car ownership more affordable, the focus is on whether Singapore's transport system can give people the reliability, flexibility and convenience they need – without every need for flexibility becoming a need to own a car. Hairianto Diman and Elakeyaa Selvaraji examine what a truly reliable car-lite transport system could look like with Dr Samuel Chng, Research Assistant Professor and Head, Urban Psychology Lab, Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, SUTDSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
