Private transport vs public transport

Private transportation in Singapore would definitely chalk up more costs than public transportation. At least in the case of owning cars. But for some, the ease that private transportation provides is an investment worth paying for. In public transportation, you have to travel through different points before reaching the destination. Take the feeder bus to the train station. Wait for the train. And oh ya before that wait for the bus. At peak hours, good luck to you. In the train journey, there are a number of transfers. East- west and North- south lines of that sort. The list goes on and on. That's how big a hassle public transportation is. And ya you may have to stand throughout the journey. Hmm one plus point is you can read a book?

Private transport is, simply, convenient, convenient and convenient. No detours. No beat around the bush. No transits. No standing. No waiting. No wasting time. Just plain direct transportation. To the destination. In the fastest time possible. As soon as you fasten the seatbelt and press the accelerator, you're on the run.

It really is a difference.
