Certificate of Entitlement
I want to add that Singapore, one of the most advanced economies in the world and one of the most livable cities, relies extensively on public transport. Singapore also limits the number of private cars through the mechanism of open market trading of Certificate of Entitlement (COE) needed to own a car and the certificate costs more than Singapore $100K (and the car price is on top of that). Indian cities are far more dense than Singapore. We have to build extensive public transport to make our cities livable. It can be done. https://x.com/svembu/status/1944973918244364392
