NSTnation Long list of reasons Msians shun carpooling
It revealed that more than 87 per cent of Malaysians in the Klang Valley drive alone to work; the highest in the world for a single-commuter category.
“From our literature review, the biggest correlation we find with high levels of single-driver commuters is the cost of fuel and toll. “If the government were to increase the cost of toll and fuel, the most affected would be the B40 group, making driving to work alone a luxury afforded by the rich,” it said.
“The drivers would rather spend the morning driving alone to gather their thoughts, listen to their favourite podcasts or even favourite music, which they prefer to do without having to ‘entertain’ a colleague. Cent-GPS said other countries had started to see a decreasing number of single-drivers with many opting for public transport and carpooling.
