I am glad LTA is doing something.

Anyone has a better idea?

I think we don't need this at all. The country spend so much $$ on infrastructure, public transport. And we are always advocating healthy lifestyle. Can't we walk a bit more instead relying on this?

Cant really pinpoint which group is the abuser however my observation at my estate, foreign workers are more appreciative towards this bike rental scheme as its like a common hometown mode of transport for most of them. The common excuse they give is no indication of where to park the bike.

That's so narrow...look at the wider picture. Cycling not healthy? Instead of driving to the mart, walk as u say or if abit far, cycle. Both oso healthy. The bike is not THE problem. I walk lots n sometimes appreciate it when I see a bike I can use.

That is the idea behind it, and cut health care burden on gov. But still.... with current situation, will they still have went ahead if they know this will happen in future? thry still has not solvr the motorised bikes and scooters problem.

i feel they are reactive rather than proactive ......

Although we cant reach the moral standard of the Japanese but I don't think we are that far off until I read about the cases of bike in the drain, thrown down from flats, locks been remove and respray of colours.

agree ..... perhaps we can study how they Japanese does it ......
u see loads of them cycling to mrt and it is not an eyesore like here in SG

they park properly ......



is it the culture ? or sgreans are a bunch of highly literate but uneducated hillbillies ......

As I see it, the only way for the present SG to even look like a gracious society, is to make it a fine city.

One example, japanese dun anyhow throw rubbish like some in our country. How to learn from them? Culture is not something that can be taught. One thing, migrants to japan has to change to jap name and live like local there. Here, it is rojak. Japanese has managed to produce elite sports stars in table tennis and badminton without foreign talents, here both sports we produce nothing locally despite of better financial support.

They are very unique, a race with a lot of pride. Look at them in before and in ww2. They were the most advance in asia. Now that chinese are less willing to train hard, they catch up in sports. And they r the only asian team in ww2018 last 16.
