S'pore's car ownership rate is only less than 11%. In the U.S., it is nearly 80% and it is just under 50% in Europe.
Despite the govt's policies to reduce the number of cars, there are around 600,000 private cars and PHVs.
Roads take up 12% of S'pore's total land area, which is a far higher % than in many larger countries.
A new compact car costs more than $120,000 in S'pore. The same car would cost about $30,000 in the UK and U.S.
The average age of cars in S'pore has steadily declined in the last 5 years and is now 5.6 years old. The average age of cars is 12 years in the U.S., 10 in Australia, 8.8 years in Japan and 11.5 in Europe.
