And imagine that even though you get timings of buses later than next 2 trips, they will definitely come on time.
That is Germany for you.
why wld i want to plan my trip a week ahead, especially if it is a predictible 9-5 work commute?
isn't that over-engineering a solution?
this is a case of getting what works for you/me.
there is no distinct advantage of knowing tt your bus will arrive @5.30pm today at a designated bus-stop at 9am yesterday or you find out at 5pm the same day.

it's quite useful if someone is doing sales and travels to different destination.if somebody working regular 9-5 shift work, won't make much of a difference.

One of the best is not equal to the best. So please dont simply distort my statement to suit your arguement.
Can you name me just ONE non-oil producing developed countries where you can find cheaper petrol and diesel?

Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand, South Africa, Pakistan, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Uruguay, Ukraine, Trinidad & Tobago, Honduras, Estonia, Dominican Republic.Don't know which one is oil producing, essentially if a country is big, you can't help it if a small portion of it's economy produces oil.
Singapore is expensive because other than the hefty petrol price, they slap a $0.40 (approximate) tax per litre. This adds to the cost of the petrol which goes into the government's pocket, for which they fail to provide good welfare and healthcare. Other countries which charges high tax rates for petrol provides free medical healthcare. What has our government provided? They hide the profits from the hospitals, in the budget statement, they provided expenditure for ministry of health for $2.6 billions, but they don't show you the income earned from these hospitals. Then they tell stupid citizens like DeerHunter that they give alot of subsidies, only a fool (or a dog) like DeerHunter would believe.

Maurizio, I think you need to understand what I mean when I said NON-OIL producing DEVELOPED country. Your reply above only show your lack of understanding of the question and you eagerness to tell the world you are smart. Unfortunately you got em ALL wrong (again) without even going into comparing the pricing.Canada has one of the biggest oil reserve after Saudi Arabia and Russia leh. New Zealand and Australia are both oil producing country. And for the rest, do you call them as developed countries?
Good try, but no cookies.

still no discernible advantage even for the sales person; he/she can still plan his/her schedule ahead of time regardless of this knowledge at hand.say, if i plan to meet customer A at changi this coming monday at 2pm and it takes me an hour, what difference would it make if i were to find out on monday at 12.30pm that my bus will arrive at the designated bus-stop at 12.57pm versus that i know today that a bus will be there on monday at the bus-stop at 12.55pm?

yes, if you know your transport will arrive 15mins later, perhaps you can do some paperwork with client before the transport arrives, rather than not knowing the timing for the transport, spend like 30mins waiting at the best stop. if you have spare time before the bus arrives, you can also do other errands, like going to the bank, post office, meals nearby so that you can utilise your time more efficiently.Germany is a big country, bus routes might be quite long unlike Singapore. same with Australia, the place you are emigrating to, buses in the suburbs can be a pain, that's why most families have cars.

If you want prove to us that you have a brain of a human, then you should be able to answer this simple question isnt it?

If you think Singapore doesnt have the one of the best public transport system in the world, you will have to quote more example instead of just using German train network to prove your point. The last time I was in Germany, my train arrive 40mins late. When I board the train, I couldnt even get a seat because I didnt reserve in advance. Is this what you considered as the best?
Beside the technology that goes behind the transportation vehicle, it is also important to take into consideration the cost of public transportation and its coverage.
If they do have the best public transport system, I wonder why so many germans still prefers to drive? Anybody ever tried taking taxi in Germany?

You should know how infrequent their train arrives late if you have been there. Why don't you compare the late buses or the infrequent times our MRT has stopped service in some stations? In addition, it is your own lazy self if you did not check whether you have to reserve your seat. Fancy taking infrequent situations to prove a point. Why are you not doing that with PAP? Furthermore, the best comparisons to MRT in Singapore is not the trains that you have to reserve your seats, but rather, the U-bahn; this shows how little you know about their system. Just go and check if you will ever be not able to board the U-bahn at any time. Compare that to Singapore NEL, you might not even get into the train at Boon Keng station at 8 in the morning.
Even nearer home, someone in this forum has posted a rail network for one of Japan's cities. The MRT network in Singapore pales greatly in comparison to Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, and that city in Japan. Remember, this is not talking about regional or inter city trains.
If they do have the best public transport system, I wonder why so many germans still prefers to drive? Anybody ever tried taking taxi in Germany?
There is never a real need to take taxi because the buses and U-bahn are extremely efficient. You will always know when the bus or train is coming. If you missed it, it's your fault for being late. Sure, taxis are expensive; one drive from Frankfurt airport to Darmstadt Uni cost around 50 euros (town to town). But you can compare to Sg taxis, which cost you 14 bucks (non-peak hour) from around Bendemeer road to Yishun Safra (consider the much shorter distance).
And who told you they prefer to drive? Where you get your info from?
You should also know that it is extremely cheap to own cars there.
Petrol with respect to earnings are cheap. There is also no COE. -

Are these countries exporters of oil or net importers of oil?I am not too sure also, perhaps you can shed some light on it.
Like I said in my post,
"Don't know which one is oil producing, essentially if a country is big, you can't help it if a small portion of it's economy produces oil."
something which you omitted when you quote me.
