I doubt those days would ever come back, in the 80's my parents 2nd hand Toyota corolla cost almost 140K, in comparison to the salaries increases and now if we do the same factoring for cars it would be 200+ K for a Toyota corolla. in the 90's you hardly hear of students driving cars now it not uncommon for people in their 20's to be driving to uni.
Once you get used to driving most people would seldom want to give up the luxury of having a car (even if is a cheaper car), my relatives who retired just switch from bigger car to smaller car or red plate car.
Government also want people to spend anyway, otherwise no one will pay to use their expensive roads / tunnels / ERP etc.
They will find some way to fill up the roads.

The roads are just too jammed up, not to mention the full car parks. I can't wait to go back to the days when driving was smooth and enjoyable.
