Was at the road junction where Capitol building and Raffles City was and on the SMRT building opposite us there was a huge banner which reads

Take the MRT and win a car

Hubby remarked, so do you want us to take public transport or to drive?

they obviously cannot make up their mind. but with fare hikes & inefficient public transport, might was well discourage ppl from taking public transport! :P

I agree! There were days when we thought of just taking public transport to town to avoid paying the exorbitant parking charges during weekdays but after a simple calculation, we realised that it is still cheaper for the 2 of us to just drive, park in town for a couple of hours then to take public transport to and fro. This is without adding in the intangible costs like convenience etc.

How very true. In fact, I was telling the SO a few nights ago that we should all own a car & not depend on our *world class transportation* which is not quite world class if you ask me. All they do is to increase prices. :/
