Public transport congestion/gridlock: another cash cow for the Singapore government too?
- Money (taxes) collected from the
opportunistic licensing of
public and private transport, shouldn't it be returned in the form of
infrastructure to encourage cycling or other forms of healthy,
nonpolluting commute options e.g. walking etc?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that SBS/ TIBs (public) bus services probably have to pay
COE, road tax and ERP whilst
operating their respective public bus services, MRT also has to pay LTA
royalties for the use of the MRT carriages and tracks, +/- physical
infrastructure.
