- JCharante 7y agoIt's a safety in numbers thing. When there are 90 motorbikes and 20 cars at an intersection it's a lot safer to be riding a motorbike than in the US where you might see one or two motorbikes on your commute.
- djpr 7y agoMaybe it's not Singapore that's an outlier, but the US? Delivery in Spain, Portugal, and other European countries is by motorcycle. I believe in the US, a car driving license is fairly easy to get and used cars are very cheap. Plus, given the driving culture, I assume that in the US people just don't think about motorcycles unlike in Europe or Asia as a viable way to get around.
- mmcnl 7y agoIn The Netherlands, most deliveries are by ebike. This has a lot of advantages: - Even cheaper than motorcycles / scooters - No license required - Excellent bike infrastructure already available
