Yes. You should just take the
MRT. Buy a condo next to an
MRT station. If you live in the West, buy condos such as The Centris, The Lakeshore, The Lakefront Residences, J Gateway or Caspian. These condos are near
MRT stations. Better use your $2k pm to pay for a mortgage for these condos than to use it to pay for a car. If you take the bus and
MRT, your monthly transport expenses will be $300 pm the most.

If you are the type that change your car every few years, the depreciation is probably higher.
Then add in petrol, insurance, road tax, parking, ERP, servicing, grooming, repairs etc. The real number rises quickly to $2K or even more if you have a conti/luxury car.
Cars damn expensive in Singapore man  |
