    And why is this exactly?

    Has it to do with the close to no parking spots in Singapore? Or something about fuel being expensive or something?

      you can visit the entire country on the subway or a short grab ride.

      owning registering, parking, repairing and fueling a car is a completely unnecessary living cost, not to mention much much more expensive than the US or Europe.

        Well not exactly the entire country, pretty sure people who need to gedong would have a lot to say about that. But most places? Yea definitely. I do have friends who stay in Punggol that don't enjoy squeezing in the trains to head to Buona for work though.

      Oh yea, fuel is expensive. It's like more than US$2 per litre now. If this online converter is right, that's more than US$7.60 per gallon.
