and also, 15k would be like the cost of a drivers license there.

I don't know the actual numbers, but it is wicked costly to even get the privilege to drive there, let alone get a car.

Singapore has some of the best mass transit in the world. It rivals Japan and Spain in quality. And in a city as dense as it is, it kinda has to be or the metro area simply couldn't function. If everyone in Singapore needed to own a car to get around, the city would be in permanent gridlock 24/7.
