I suggest that COEs for taxis and private hire cars be free, and that a larger quota be provided. This will reduce the price of taxi rides, and encourage some people to use taxis instead of owning a private car.

IN SIMPLE TERMS, COES ARE PUT THERE AS A DETERRENT TO OVERLOAD THE ROADS AND CONTROL TRAFFIC CONGESTION. IT IS NOT THERE TO FAVOR CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE EG TAXIS. AS IT IS THINGS ARE MORE THAN COMPLEX ENOUGH AND SHOULD NOT BE OPEN TO LOOPHOLES AND ABUSE. BY NOT GOING FOR SIMPLICITY, WE MAKE LIVES COMPLICATED!
ReplyDeleteA poor allocation of resources arises when they do not necessarily go to those who value them most and should not be tainted by favouritism.
ReplyDeleteForum: Subsidise COE to help me keep my job
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ms Susan Tan (Make it easier for seniors to keep their cars to maintain mobility, Nov 29), and would like to cite my own predicament.
I am 82 and keep myself relevant and active. I run a small business as a sole proprietor, doing collections and deliveries, and sometimes doing ad hoc deliveries and other errands.
The COE of my company-owned van will expire in 2024. Without the vehicle, I will have to close my business and will have no source of income.
I appeal to the Government to help seniors like me with concession rates for COEs or allow renewal of COE at prevailing rates every year.
Paying for a five-year COE renewal is financially a burden to seniors.
Our driving licences are also approved yearly based on a medical report.
The Government can help encourage seniors to continue working and stay relevant by granting higher rates of concession for COEs based on age.

Forum: No need to give subsidies to retirees to keep their cars
I refer to Ms Susan Tan’s letter “Make it easier for seniors to keep their cars to maintain mobility” (Nov 29), suggesting that the Government give retirees who previously owned a car a subsidy or cap the prevailing certificate of entitlement (COE) premium needed to keep the car.
I am a retiree and I drive. The COE for my car will expire in 2028, but the last thing I expect the Government to do is to give me a COE subsidy so that I can continue to drive.
There have been repeated calls over the years from VARIOUS GROUPS to be given SUBSIDIES to drive due to their personal needs.
Many grandparents fetch their grandchildren using public transport and many retirees have no problems going about their business on public transport, which is one of the best in the world. I doubt retirees, including Ms Tan, would isolate themselves at home because they had to give up their cars.
