<D> OPC Matters

[WawanAprilia]

Guyz , I believed that the govt is trying to curb the number of cars on the road and yet the govt still implements Off Peak Plates ... What do u guyz think bout the OPC cars congesting the roads of Singapore here ...

[Constructicon]

Well, the only thing I believe is that cars are a great income generator for the govt.

Everyday, there are 500,000 cars/cash cows being milked. From COE to rd tax to ERP...etc. Do the maths bro. *ka-ching!*

 

Never mind the majority of car owners are pwned by their cars everyday. The banks/ cars owned them, not the other way round.

 

Why would the govt want to really reduce the number of cars? No one cares about the environment when money is mentioned. Sad but true.

[WawanAprilia]

Pretty much agree wit u ... Its all bout money in this world ...

[xiaobanz]

Ya owning a car is really beyond reach for us... Cos you know the gov is really really milking from the drivers. hmm.. Even for us riders you see the amount of money they make.. But if you think of another way, the money they made has made singapore roads into a better place.. At least we have good highways..

 

So many proz and cons.

[wait4me]

its a chain reaction ..

 

more cars means more money

can generate more income

 

then making cars more afforable esp opc cars

at least the car shop can sell more cars , salesman earn more.

workshop earn more ...

 

in singpore if u wanna drive a car ,be prepared for jams ..

Do OPC cars congest the roads?

[steel_headz]

I don tink OPC cars cause congestion on rds....

 

They only can cum out at night like DRACULA....

[vincekam]

My point of view is OPC occupy their parking lots most of the time.

On road, I don't think it make much difference.

 

Cheers!

opc cars only come out aft 7pm & there's not really much during weekdays. its weekends thats more obvious. if there's no opc cars, maybe alot more pple like me wont have a chance to own a car & we bikers gota see the weather before can go out with wife.

we always travel to jb wkends so having a car is more convient & safer. & opc is not restricted in jb.

To me its worth it cos if i hv a normal car i just cant stand the jam in the early morning n evening...

 

So preferably OPC car for me, use only for family....

 

Whereas for bike just normal use for workin purposes...

[madman]

i bought the opc only cos got 2 kids, else, wun be getting...

 

as bikers, we are used to going where we want etc, and taking public wif 2 young ones is not an option for me. can only eat nearby la, how to go jb shopping and makan la... i cant imagine doing all those w/o opc...

Yup correct....

 

But for the kids sumtimes if we too pampered wif them, they will depend to much on car....

 

They don wan to take the bus or MRT... They will complain...

 

So no choice hv to educate them...

same reason with me mine plus parents. take cab now troublesome. must take either bigger cab or 2 cabs.

btw regarding congestion by opc, based on my personal experience, i never meet with road jam on weekend except at custom and finding carpark at the mall .

so in my 0.01 cents opinion it's irrelevant to relate opc with road congestion

yalor, got aircon, and if u have dvd player installed, jam or no jam will not affect passengers...

[ryanryanryan]

drivers have to b prepare in future , jams will start from the car park itself
