Netizen says public transport much slower than private transport, but others say that's not a fair comparison
SINGAPORE: An online citizen has asked people for their honest opinion on whether Singapore’s public transport system deserves the praise it receives.
“My personal experience is that the public transport in Singapore still pales a lot in comparison to private transport . Just doing a quick search of several of my own frequently used trips on Google Maps shows that commute times public transport is usually 3-4 times of that of commuting by car. ” The netizen cited a commute from Queenstown to NUS Business School taking 10 minutes by car but much longer by public transport, taking 47 minutes.
Another said that travel time should not be used to measure how good a transport system is and compare public and private transport. “Public transport is serving the public and you have multiple stops in between, private transport as the name suggests is private so you are free to only use it for your own needs, with the added convenience coming with a cost ,” the user wrote.
