I would like COE to be low when I buy a car

 

and COE to be high after I have bought a car

 

so that the roads are not clogged up.

 

I respect people who have a different opinion

 

and anyone who wants the opposite of me

 

is welcome to voice his or her opinion.

Why do some Singaporeans have a ‘COE’ mentality?

Fighting off the entitlement mentality

 

Some people feel they’re entitled to…

 

Go on vacation at least once a year

Lead a life that isn’t too stressful

Have a stable job that pays well

Own a car >>> balloting for coe ... LOL

Have their needs (and sometimes wants, too) taken care of by the government

Eat at a nice restaurant at least once a week

 

But are we really entitled to these things? I don’t think so.

COEs and urban planning: Time to think big and bold

Personally, i think the overhaul of the various COE bands is already long overdue. Classifying them according to the age-old method of just engine capacities is no longer relevant when new cars are concerned.

 

The new criteria to be considered for the revised COE classifications should be,

 

1) Emissions

2) Fuel Economy

3) Physical Dimensions of Vehicle

 

It is also time to embrace the modern diesel engines rather than slap on a hefty tax on them for private ownership.

I have given my feedback

Should there be social equity for COE? NO

For those family with special needs,

Better to hire a transport operator subsidise by some ministry than to go through the hassle of owning a car.

 

My suggestion is have a baseline COE, and a matrix to dictate a surcharge or rebate.

Rebate/surcharge measured by the engine power/passenger capacity.

Would rather have more 7 seaters than 2 seaters, bcos carry more pple. Less car on road...theoretically.

 

Also no to surcharge on 2nd cars to same household or individual. Too many ways to circumvent it.

No to ballot bcos can create a black mkt.

physical dimensions should be used to determine roadtax

As a father of two toddlers and a car owner, I fully understand the convenience of owning a family car.

 

Now that the Land Transport Authority is asking for feedback on how to recategorise Certificates of Entitlement (COEs), I suggest we introduce a Family COE. Let’s call it an FCOE. The car categories should be regrouped into two broad categories: the FCOE and the Open COE.

 

The FCOE will strictly adhere to a one car per household basis, and a bal-loting system should be used instead of a bidding system. A surcharge of a percentage of the car price can be imposed on successfully balloted FCOEs.

 

There should be restrictions on what type and size of cars can be purchased under the FCOE category. For example, the FCOEs can only be used for cars, MPVs or passenger vans below a certain engine size or horsepower; the cars must have more than two seats; and the FCOEs cannot be used for luxury cars. The Open COE will retain the bidding process, and should be used for all cars.

 

There should also be criteria on who is eligible to ballot for FCOEs. For example, each FCOE application can only be made by a family nucleus of three members or more, and families should get an additional ballot for every child 12 years old and under and every elderly family member aged 60 years and above.

Such a system will bring down the ridiculously inflated costs of car ownership brought about by the current COE system. It will help families who

just want a basic car to drive their families around. It will also encourage more efficient use of cars.

 

Ultimately, it supports the needs of families and may encourage young couples to have children. Abusers of the system should be barred from applying for a few years in order to maintain the integrity of the process.
