<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->IT IS a common sight to see Singaporeans packed together like sardines on board public transports and cars slowed to a crawl during peak periods every day.
Indeed there are more car on our roads, with cars usage up 31 per cent and public transport ridership also up by 16 per cent.
RazorTV found out while many Singaporeans put up with the crowded buses and trains in exchange for lower costs, many would still prefer the convenience of having their own cars.

If LTA had not issued more COEs, the public transport system would have imploded. The reason for the switch of transport philosophy from car ownership to car usage is due primarily to the immigration policy and fillfulling the aspiration of S'poreans becoming car owners is probably an unintended consequence of this huge influx of foreigners.

With population going to hit 5 million , you think the public tgransport is good enough ?

The current public transport did not take into consideration that we are going to hit 5 million population in yr 2010. Increasing the ERP is just to top up the coffers and also increase the money for HO CHING and OLD FART to punt in intheir overseas investment ?

Did the man on the street really enjoy the increase ?
