In near future SG will emulate China where you see tons of people riding bicycles to work. Lol. Quite cool no? The rich would be driving, the middle-incomers taking public transport, and the less-fortunate people like us = bicycles/walk/trishaws |
This will be ideal. It will be funny if everyone drives a merc. Differentiation between upper class and lower class should be more distinct. Lower class riding bicycles seems a good way to increase the distinction. It also gives them a good form of exercise - so we can argue that quality of life is in fact better for the lower class. The rich will grow fat and have unhealthy hearts.
