unlike in the US though you actually have lovely public transport.

the 7 years i lived in Budapest for example, i never felt like buying a car
at all.

when you land at changi and travel into the city
and then land at new york and travel into the city
the difference slaps you in the face.

Hi Jayanand

Thanks for highlighting Singapore - but what you should also know :

- we have the most expensive car ownership scheme in Singapore - right now
  A Certificate of Ownership for 1600cc cars cost US$61,500.00

- Car insurance for a 1600cc model is Us$923.00 per year

- Road Tax US$1308.00 per year

- Gas is US$1.73 / litre

- on top of these we pay Electronic Road Pricing entry of US$1.15 to 2.30
per entry

- Parking in the CBD ranges from US$3.08 to Us$5.38 per hour

Life is not cheap
