Can't compare city to city

Spore government don't hand out pay out to jobless n old elders. There is no free uni education.

Public Transport wise we r still not handicap friendly. Many unfortunate handicap need cab to travel around.

Other cities public transport system r well developed and very handicap friendly

Not really la. New York is quite bad with handicaps. Their trains are old, trains station really dirty. I climb alot of stairs there with my heavy coat. I probably lost half a kg climbing the stairs there.

Comparing nearer countries, Hong kong is quite bad also. I just remember keep climbing stairs. I think I lost a kg climbing the stairs. Frankly, I find Singapore relatively reasonable to live in.

We always thought the grass is greener on the other side, actually I really didn't find it so after travelling to a few big cities. I love Singapore! :music:

PS: I hate taxi drivers in every country I have been. All behave the same, holigans on the road.

Hmm. Maybe u r right. Or maybe I m lucky as I got good cab services in HK and Taiwan.

But to be charge at least 30 bucks from

North to east part of spore, I think is very expensive mode of transport. Taxi is meant to be a solution between public n private transport. After this fare increase, it is on par with private transport.

Those who know maths will just go to car showroom n get a 2nd hand car.
