Singapore: no more cars allowed on the road, government says
Discussed previously:
I find it interesting that Singapore ranks very high on the "Economic Freedom" (read: business friendliness) indexes but is for sure a nanny state, that fines you for chewing gum on the street and so on.
Libertarians use it as an example of prosperity resulting from freedom but there is heavy intervention and central planning everywhere. How do they explain the thiving in the face of this?
Interesting.
The economic and environmental rationales are compelling.
After reading this, I'm wondering if the prohibition of private vehicles will be unavoidable in the future for large, densely populated areas with growing populations.
