To emphasize the point : In Singapore, the MRT (subway) and bus systems are excellent & frequent (and you can get exact ETA info via your phone). Taxis are everywhere and cheap. There's even less reason to own a car in Singapore than in NYC.

- mdda 13y agoI understand that wealthy people may be conspicuously buying Mercedes and Lamborghinis : But that doesn't change the facts about the MRT, busses and Taxis... Agreed, it doesn't boost the morale of the general population to see, but it also really doesn't make living in Singapore significantly worse (particularly since the absolute numbers are pretty small, even if it's a popular/populist talking point).
