Comment	>There's some quote about a successful city not being one where the poor drive cars but where the rich use public transit. Perfectly said! I recently lived in Singapore for a few years and that's exactly what it felt like. Even the rich takes buses and subways over there. And that's because the system is SO FREAKING GOOD. You just do not feel the need to buy a car. And mind you, it's not free. It's just not exorbitant. The minimum fare on a bus is SGD 1 which is way lesser than GBP 1.8 I pay in Glasgow now.
