Singapore to Stop Adding Cars to City From February 2018

Singapore is a city state. NCR is just a region in the Philippines. Hindi pwede i-control yung number of vehicles in NCR since marami nanggagaling sa ibang provinces. Enforcement lang talaga ng traffic laws ang kelangan.

Iba naman kasi sa Singapore... We can't compare it to the Philippines.

Before buying a car, you will need to purchase a certificate of entitlement (COE) it allows you to own a car for 10 years.

After 10 years, you either buy another COE to extend the life of your car (to another 5 years)

Bidding ang COE so even if they announce that growth rate will be Zero (0), papalitan parin nila yung mga cars for scrap (expired COE) so may new cars pa din, mag mamahal lang COE.

Second is yung thinking ng Singaporeans... Sa ganda ng roads nila, plus the fact na halos walang traffic... Naniniwala sila na on the 5th year, kailangan na palita suspension ng cars. On the 10th year, it has to go since luma na... So nawawala old cars sa kalsada...

Unlike sa Pinas na 15 year old na yung car, nasa roads pa din.

Pati mga kilala kong Singaporean, once matapos 5 year warranty nila, naghahanap na sila ng kapalit. Sakit na daw sa ulo maintenance ng 5 year old car since ang dami ng papalitan sa PMS.

Sa totoo lang, wala pa akong kilalang Singaporean na hindi makabili ng kotse kasi naubusan ng COE for the year... Mahal lang, pero meron.

singapore has been limiting the use of cars for many years now. it is nothing new to them.
besides, with a mass transport system as efficient as theirs, why would one want to drive a car?

4 months since Singapore stopped adding cars...

COE prices hits an 8 year low.

It's even expected to go lower...
