Beyond disruptions, many Singaporeans also face peak-hour congestion and crowded buses and trains during everyday travel, with few affordable alternatives. For those priced out of car ownership, taxis and ride-hailing services are often too costly, especially during peak surges or late-night hours when public transport is unavailable. It may be timely to reconsider
the role of motorcycles and motor-scooters, which are space-efficient, require minimal parking, and can navigate through peak-hour traffic more effectively.
