You know how coe works? Whether is $1 or 300k, the amount of coe on the Rd is the same... How does it reduces jam?
True but who gets your 1$ COE ? 🤣 Dont tell me stories about who “need” a car more. Nobody needs a car in singapore . It is just convenience.

Pappy found the key to make more $$ out of coe high by selling to leasing companies

Leasing companies to grab drivers

They can profit tax the leasing companies, income tax the drivers corp tax on grab

They also create jobs along the way

If they sell coe to car owner, only one time sales per 10 years
Yup!

This is the main reason!

Get more people involved in the game.
More huge sums of money changed hands at every level of the society passing thru organisations and companies. The gov, they can imposed more regulations and thus tax and fine those not in line too.

COE to curb traffic congestion! This is totally not fullfilled and yet exorbitantly high!

Convenience, fun, privacy, family, elderly, personal satisfaction. Driving your own car is one of the best and fun things in life. Especially for family, a lot of fun moments happen in the car. Driving to/from work, playing your music is damn relaxing and shiok. Anytime go JB. Anytime meet your friends for supper. A night ride out. Driving to different food places every weekend. The possibilities are endless. Only boring people who see car as a tool only will never understand.

I prefer taking a bus or MRT when I'm not in a hurry.

Driving always has this element of getting errand X to be accomplished in time Y.

Parking is usually a hassle in crowded areas.

2 things changed the dynamics of the car market here:_
1) rental companies buying PHV Rental cars and PHV drivers buying their own PHV cars...
2) financial hub for rich people

the 1st one support the Cat A, the 2nd one support the Cat B
