No way. Roads will still be quite busy. There are A LOT and I mean A LOT of very rich people in SG. It just means their kids will drive their staff will drive their relatives will drive. Also car rental will be big business.

It is not unreasonable to charge $720k for COE.

As for public transport with the money earned LTA can upgrade the public transport system.

Benefits all.
Why not 720 million. 720k rupiah too low

Eh dun troll la.

SGD$720k. We works out to $60k a month. Very middle class.
In the whole world population including Europe (Swiss) and America, 720k per year is less than 1%. Your maths can go back to kindergarten if under 1% is consider middle

u talking 720 million rupiah?

As seen everyone will argue what is the best means but COE has worked in a way that most buyers now will feel it’s an affordable way as part of total car cost and also the price level is indicative of the competitive demand (dealers or individuals)

SG is not whole world population. We are talking about the richest country richest city in the world. With the highest salaries. Lowest tax. No capital gains tax. No investment income tax.

Dont compare SG to poor countries elsewhere in the world.

Yes COE is price determine by SGreans themselves. That's why it is still so cheap.

Yes just lump the top ten gdp nations. 720k per year is 1% of that group population. Like I said. 720million sounds better or billion.

But those countries big land.

You must remwmbwey SG land is like gold. Scarce. Like Bitcoin. Finite. When all land in SG is used very hard to mine new land. Have to reclaim. Very costly.

SGD 720m to own a car? You consider that possible? I guess your social circle is all billionaires.

I dunno whether people here are complaining COE too high or low :unsure:
for most buyers it ain’t broken why fix it?…
most buyers are short sighted & can't see how broken already it is, while being compliant with what everyone else is saying...

If the objectives is to limit cars then why not.
Just few hundred cars on the road lor
But poor PAP also have to take bus n train to work.
This way can also shove electric cars manufacturers in their sss la
