Executive Summary
This proposal discusses the concerns
regarding traffic congestion arising from the high car ownership in Singapore
resulting in traffic congestion. As such, the team would like to suggest a new
approach to allow greater manoeuvrability in traffic especially in the CBD area
through a ‘car-sharing’ approach. Primary and secondary data obtained from
different sources has established a need for the improvement or developing of a
new approach in order to reduce the number of cars on the road. This approach
would serve to provide alternative transportation for people for occasional and
leisure purposes and thus reducing car ownership. The proposed solution
contains three parts, the conversion of unused taxis to the car-sharing
vehicles, implementation of the approach and benefits of these cars. These
ideas will work in tandem to complement existing policies to encourage
alternative mode of transportation, reduce car ownership and effectively make
our roads less congested and stressful.
