Sorry if this is off topic, I don’t know where to put this question.

Best Answer

I live in Singapore. Car ownership is prohibitively expensive for an average Singaporean resident (Artificially made so). Public transport is very convenient, cheap and affordable. Network is all over SG. So, most people use public transport.

For car owners, they can afford and mostly uses car. But parking and everything related to car is expensive.
