Singapore is the only country that prices cars appropriately. Every other country simply externalize the cost of a car onto everybody else including other car drivers.

Beyond the high price to just purchase a car, Singapore freeways are loaded with tolls which make the price to operate vehicles even higher.<p>The flip side, the roads/infrastructure/landscaping of Singapore are the best I've ever seen. Modern and pristine, at least we know those funds are being put to good use.

_Supposedly_ it's now common for cars to be "stolen on a trip to Thailand" near the COE expiration. (This allows the owner to store the car out of country rather than being forced to sell it in Thailand.)

Is that per year or like a taxi medallion?

it's fine to have a heavy cost to private ownership because they have a decent public transport.

The rising COE prices also impacts the used car market, making vehicles more expensive.
