[Ferraricalifornia]

[Ferraricalifornia]

even the ang moh's don't like to share things....

In that documentary, the more futuristic design is to have public transportation that resemble a car but sit one person.

These car-like 2 wheelers are found right underneath your apartment. You take any one of them, punch in your destination and it will bring you to the nearest transportation terminal automatically.

There you and your 2 wheelers will be grouped automatically with other 2 wheelers and be transported to your final destination.

 

Regards,

 

Exactly. That is what I have in mind, and what we need actually.

it'll still jam up the roads ain't it???

 

it'll be worse actually,

 

cos a bus can take 70-90 (full pax)???

 

but with this new personal public transportation,

 

1 person to a car,

 

waste a lot of space nia....

 

But these 'cars' are a lot smaller than our cars. So in theory take up less space.

[Ferraricalifornia]

but izzit meant to be a replacement for cars,

 

or public transport???

[Ferraricalifornia]

if it's for cars,

 

it'll take up more space....

 

cos if 1 person travelling,

 

it's ok....

 

but what about going out as a family on weekends???

 

all 5-6 cars must be used leah....and that isn't a wise use of space....

 

same for public transport replacement too....

 

waste a lot of space....

 

jams will be much worse....

A bit of both.

 

It's still classified as personal transportation, since it's individual. Just that the user doesn't actually have to do anything, except input destination.

If family, then can go back to proper cars. Or can have special multi-person pods (like the Flyer cabin).

 

I don't think every family go out on outings at the same time ya?

Ask ourselves, why we prefer to drive over taking public transport?

Answer: To Buy time.

 

So, if we don't control car population and we let out road jam, where Tampines to Orchard takes 1.5hours to arrive, will you still drive?

Ok, provided the mrt could take the extra load.

So, just let the forces regulate itself.

 

[Ferraricalifornia]

it's not really to buy time....

 

it's the convenience you see....

 

you don't have to walk to transfer buses/ MRT lines, or walk to your destination....

 

everytime you go shop for your groceries,

 

don't have to carry or push around a trolley....

 

just lump it into your car's boot can already....

 

and you get your own personal space and privacy in the car....

[Ferraricalifornia]

eitherway,

 

if you find driving or taking public transport a chore,

 

there's always going the other route....

To reduce traffic?

Are you paid millions to solve the solution?

 

People are paid millions to solve the housing and road problems.

If they can't do it will his million dollars salary, then what makes you so special? In fact they made it even worst.

There is no solution!!!

Look at Jakarta, China, Bangkok. There they are not worried about erections or salary, yet it cannot be solved.

 

Here, one small mistakes means million dollars salary gone leh....so all are yes men yes sir yes sir three bags full wayang kings.

 

 

 

If every month reduce 5% of COE distribution till car population to 50% as of NOW the figure. IMO it will definitely ease up the road but will MIW do it for the good of the revenue??? Will they do it..LOL.

[Ferraricalifornia]

please....

 

forget about reducing the number of cars on the road....

 

that's something the garment won't do in the right frame of mind....

 

they will not sacrifice their revenue's just to meet our problems....

[Ferraricalifornia]

just look at them price BTO's and set the COE Quota....

That is pretty much the general idea.

 

Of course needs some fine-tuning lah.

I am thinking by ncrease the COE price of car why don't they stop OPC system or try to minimize the OPC number cause nowday whenever on the road out of 5 deftinely there will be 1 OPC car and deftinely applied on the way to Johor.

Traffic jams affect productivity. Until we are more serious about productivity, we will not be keen to reduce traffic jams (practical methods to resolve the traffic jams already made available to the Authority, pending political commitment to apply
